Lower chemical footprints through pesticide use reduction programs
"The Investor Environmental Health Network (IEHN) and Mercy Investment Services are co-leading a pesticide initiative of investors, including Trillium Asset Management and As You Sow, representing $444 billion in assets under management.
Using the Chemical Footprint Project’s framework, the campaign is asking companies to adopt and implement a process of safer chemical management that can be applied to different types of agrochemicals. By conducting a chemical footprint of the pesticides used in their agricultural supply chains, companies can identify harmful pesticides, set reduction targets and develop safer, more sustainable alternatives, thus mitigating risks and protecting human and environmental health."
