Reducing Human and Environmental Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Along Supply Chains

Type: RFP

The Pew Charitable Trusts is seeking proposals to advise the safer chemicals project (SCP) on priority product sectors, industries, and/or companies to work with in the next 3 to 5 years in order to meaningfully reduce human and environmental exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and to prioritize the same over an 8-to-10-year time frame. Pew is seeking to better understand private sector opportunities, existing information and data, and existing and potential supply chain transparency challenges and opportunities, and to identify important players.
