Since the Chemicals Policy and Science Initiative began it has sought to engage with stakeholders about the need for chemicals policy reform and the possibilities for safer chemicals alternatives. This has primarily been provided through written materials, regular conference calls, and events that bring together a diverse group of stakeholders to engage one another.
