Dear EPA Administrator:
We, the undersigned companies and trade associations urge you to
support the U.S. EPA Safer Choice program.
The Safer Choice program helps businesses and consumers in many
ways:
- It allows companies that make safer products to tell their
story to the public and benefit from rising consumer demand for
these products.
- The Safer Choice logo helps businesses, procurement officers,
and consumers find products that perform well and are safer for
human health and the environment.
- It is strictly voluntary, and no company is required to incur
any expense to comply with it.
- It avoids a patchwork quilt of programs managed by retailers
and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or local governments
- it products confidential business information while also
protecting the public’s right to know
- It costs companies less than most private certificate
programs
The businesses below all support the EPA Safer Choice
program. They have made the investment to place the Safer
Choice logo on their product labels, or they produce and sell
ingredients on the Safer Choice Program’s Safer Chemical
Ingredient List (SCIL), or they are retailers who feature Safer
Choice products. All believe that the Safer Choice program
is simply good business.
Very truly yours,
