GPS Implementation: Examples and Challenges Dr. Ahmed Al-Hazmi Manager, Environmental Affairs 25 September 2012

No. 1 Global Product Strategy GPS is designed to improve the global chemical industry’s product stewardship performance by recommending measures to be taken by companies, working together with their chemical associations, and in cooperation with activities of other companies and associations along the chemical value chain. 1 The centerpiece of GPS is the enhancement and expansion of product stewardship best practices within the industry and throughout the value chain. The ultimate purpose of GPS is to increase public and stakeholder awareness of, and confidence in, the safe management of chemicals throughout their lifecycle by demonstrably increasing chemical industry performance and transparency.

No. 2 Components of the Global Product Strategy Guidelines for product stewardship, including ways to make relevant product stewardship information more transparent. A tiered process for completing risk characterization and risk management actions for chemicals in commerce. Product stewardship performance with a special focus on working directly with downstream customers of the chemical industry. Exploration of a potential partnership with an intergovernmental organization to enhance global product stewardship. 2
