We value

collaboration

Our motto is: Together we win. Core to our strategy and mission is working with a broad and diverse array of people, communities, organizations, and sustainable businesses, sharing information and resources to empower our common efforts to eliminate toxic chemicals from all aspects of our lives.

authenticity

We follow scientific evidence and do not spin or slant it. We are truthful and transparent with the public and everyone with whom we work and expect the same of others. We put the public interest above all other concerns.

foresight

We take the long view, looking ahead to see how decisions made now—in regulation, manufacturing, or the marketplace—will impact people in the future. We are thoughtful about unintended consequences as well as the full life cycle of materials, products, and policies. We strive to turn off the tap on toxic chemicals before they harm people and communities.

justice

We are committed to an equitable, just, and inclusive society. We are intentionally anti-racist and oppose gender oppression. In all of our decisions, we consistently ask ourselves: Who is most impacted? Who is left out? Who is empowered? Whose voices are not yet being heard? We center justice in our decision-making and aim to dismantle structures of inequality and discrimination. 

fearlessness

To make toxic chemicals and products unthinkable, we speak truth to power, reimagine what’s possible, push for bold change, and are innovative, tenacious, and persistent.
