To continue providing industry leadership and supporting the use of good science to advance sustainability, we have a strong presence in national, regional and global industry associations. We maintain direct contact with decision makers, authorities and regulatory agencies. For 2030, we have set the target to collaborate with customers and industry and to drive and/or sponsor more than 50 events advancing scientific advocacy. To us, this means advocating to advance external science-based decision-making that drives sustainable preservation.

Arxada’s regulatory advocacy approach
Actively managing our chemical substance portfolio
We prioritize the safety of our employees and customers by manufacturing products that are safe to handle and use. We have implemented robust processes that include monitoring regulatory changes and implementing best practices for the safe use, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous chemicals.
To ensure our commitment to safety, we proactively monitor and track our use of substances classified as category 1 and 2 under the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) for Health and Environmental Hazardous Substances. We have established clear safety protocols for all chemicals used in our operations, regardless of whether they are classified as hazardous.
Furthermore, we are dedicated to sustainability and are continuously exploring and implementing safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals in our operations where feasible and appropriate.
