Geneva (July 14, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is delighted to host a complimentary webinar, ‘Digital chemical management for textiles with SGS SMART Cares’, taking place on July 31, 2025, with sessions at 10:00 am and 4:00 pm (GMT +1:00). This event will be suitable for suppliers, such as wet processing plants using chemical formulations, and brands looking to adopt sustainable chemical management.
Chemical-intensive processes in the textile industry, including dyeing, finishing and printing, are under growing scrutiny from consumers, regulators and brands. Complying with evolving regulations and meeting stakeholder expectations requires robust, transparent and collaborative chemical management practices across the supply chain.
This webinar introduces SGS SMART Cares, a next-generation digital platform developed to streamline chemical data management. Presenters Daniel Zhao and Brenda Chiu will demonstrate how the platform enables users to:
- Build a comprehensive chemical database with supplier, inventory and usage records
- Screen chemical substances for restricted or hazardous content
- Develop substitution strategies and generate ZDHC Performance InCheck reports
- Facilitate collaboration between suppliers and brands
SGS is committed to providing one-stop chemical data validation and management services, delivering a more transparent and sustainable model for the textile and footwear supply chain. SGS SMART Cares is a key part of this mission, empowering safer working environments, simplified compliance and accelerated access to global markets.
