Thanks for your help in keeping the pressure on companies to substitute harmful chemicals in their products with safer alternatives. By choosing to buy products from companies ranked green and amber, you helped to make companies change their policies on chemicals.

And, thanks to the support of more progressive companies, the 'substitution' principle has been at least partially incorporated into the new EU chemicals policy called REACH .
