Health Footprint
The pillar Health Footprint is connected to REACH and sector specific lists of restricted substances and LCA Toxicity results in the supply chain.
In the GSES HF tooling, the following indicators are measured and data is recorded:
- Manufacturer’s declaration that the product is compliant with REACH regulation, and with that explicitly declares compliancy to the Candidate List of substances of very high concern for Authorisation
- Additional product health safety declarations, based on the Cradle to Cradle Restricted Substances List (RSL).
- Environmental impacts in supply chain on toxicities:
- Human toxicity, cancer effects
- Human toxicity, non-cancer effects
- Ecotoxicity, freshwater
