Policy objectives for managing chemicals

To ensure a targeted effort within the field of chemicals, plans of action and strategies are drawn up. These can be either general or specific to single or groups of substances and products. The latest Political Agreement on new joint chemicals initiatives covers over the period 2022-2005.

All the parties in the Danish Parliament have agreed on a new set of chemicals initiatives for 2022-25 in “Political Agreement on new joint chemicals initiatives 2022-2025”.

The goal of the Government and the parties to the agreement is to prevent and minimise the occurrence of harmful substances in the environment and people.

The Government and the parties to the agreement have therefore agreed on the following vision: to work towards a toxic-free environment, where chemicals are produced and used in such a way as to protect the environment, biodiversity, and current and future generations against harmful chemicals, with support for the transition to production and use of safe and sustainable chemicals.
