ABOUT THE COURSE

The training course "ZDHC Chemical Management System Technical Industry Guide" (ZDHC CMS TIG) is designed to develop an understanding of the CMS TIG Framework. It also provides practical guidance for implementing CMS TIG minimum requirements and the best practices.

The course aims at relevant personnel within suppliers’ organizations and the auditors evaluating facilities for their CMS implementation. However, we encourage participants to attend the training course "ZDHC Chemical Management System” as a foundation before attending this course.

The ZDHC CMS TIG training and guide focuses on harmonizing requirements across the brands and suppliers to implement sustainable chemical management. Suppliers can tailor and implement their plans to meet the harmonised expectations, whether they are a tannery, dye-house, mill, printer, footwear assembly unit, or other kinds of facility.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN FROM THE COURSE?

The course will include all nine (9) sections of the CMS TIG. Time spent on each section might differ and can be subject to learners' knowledge level. Please check our calendar and contact us for more information on the specific course.
