Short description
ChemSec, The International Chemical Secretariat, is a non-profit organisation founded in 2002 by four environmental organisations. At ChemSec, we have an ambitious focus and goal: a toxic free environment by 2020. To achieve this, we strive to reach broad acceptance in society of the key principles of Precaution, Substitution, Polluter Pays and Right to Know. Our approach involves highlighting the health and environmental risks of hazardous substances and the urgent need to phase them out. Making accurate, science-based information available.

All our work aims to stimulate public debate and action on the necessary steps towards a toxic-free world.
