As the revision of EU chemicals legislation REACH is underway, the Health and Environment Alliance urges the European Commission to uphold its commitments on safer chemicals and ensure that ambitious health protections remain at the heart of the project.
The negative impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on health is no longer questionable. This online seminar, taking place 29th April (11:00 – 12:00 CET) and which is co-organised by the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), Mutualités Libres and the International Association of Mutual Benefit Societies (AIM), will explore the actions which are being taken at international and European level to reduce exposure to these chemicals. As insurers and care providers, mutuals are deeply committed to act against health-harming EDCs. The event will showcase some best practices from the sector.
