SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to host a webinar, 'Better Chemical Management Through Digital Innovation', on September 24, 2026.
Chemical management has become increasingly complex for brands, manufacturers and chemical formulators as regulations, sustainability expectations and supply chain demands continue to evolve. Organizations are expected to understand and manage the chemicals used throughout production processes while maintaining visibility of compliance-related information across global supply chains.

However, chemical information is often dispersed across safety data sheets (SDS), supplier records, chemical inventories, and testing reports. Managing this information manually can create inefficiencies, limit visibility, and make it more difficult to identify potential risks and support effective compliance management.
This complimentary webinar will examine key chemical management challenges facing the textile and footwear industry and explore how digital solutions can help organizations streamline chemical data management, automate screening processes and improve supply chain transparency. Attendees will gain practical insights into managing substances of concern (SoC), strengthening supplier engagement and supporting compliance and sustainability objectives through a more data-driven approach. The session will also introduce SGS SMART-Cares, a digital chemical management platform designed to help organizations improve visibility, streamline chemical data management, and support informed decision-making across the supply chain.
During the session, SGS experts will discuss current regulatory trends impacting the textile and footwear sector, common chemical management pain points, and the role of digital platforms in supporting improved chemical oversight. The webinar will also demonstrate how centralized chemical data management and real-time performance insights can support continuous improvement across the supply chain.
This webinar is designed for global softlines supply chain stakeholders, including brands, manufacturers, and chemical formulators.
