The Toward Zero Exposure program consists of six commitments:

  1. Eliminate Exposures to Priority Chemicals. Protect workers from exposure to Priority Chemicals in the electronics supply chain, prioritizing elimination or substitution with safer alternatives and protecting workers until that is achieved

  2. Process Chemical Data Collection. Collect data on company and supplier facility use of process chemicals to support collective mapping across supply chains

  3. Worker Engagement and Participation. Build safety systems and culture around process chemical management through support for the maturation of governance systems that protect the health of workers, where workers are consulted, informed and actively participating

  4. Reach into Deeper Tiers. Work with selected suppliers to join the Commitment Program to reduce worker exposure to toxic chemicals in the extended electronics supply chain

  5. Verification and Reporting. Ensure progress towards implementing the Commitments through verification and annual reporting to workers and the public

  6. Continuous Improvement across all areas above
