Global Framework on Chemicals Investor Survey
The Finance and Investment Workstream of the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC), which I co-lead, aims to map how investors currently assess and address chemical risks and impacts. Please help by completing this survey by Friday 10th July. GFC Implementation Survey
The Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC) was adopted in September 2023 in Bonn as the international multistakeholder framework for the sound management of chemicals and waste — the chemicals counterpart to the Paris Agreement and the Global Biodiversity Framework. It includes Target D3: by 2030, the private sector — including finance — incorporates sound chemicals and waste management into its finance approaches and business models, using internationally recognized reporting standards.
To support GFC implementation, a Finance and Investment Workstream is being facilitated by UNEP FI. A core deliverable this year is a Landscape Baseline Analysis — mapping how investors currently assess chemical risks and impacts, the data and metrics gaps holding the field back, and what investors need to make GFC-aligned decisions. Initial results will be presented at the GFC's First International Conference (IC-1) in Geneva this November. It will inform how work moves forwards to support greater investor action on hazardous chemicals.
