The Safer Choice program allows the

and contain safer ingredients, as
determined by expert evaluation. The
Safer Choice program recognition

in formulating products that are safer for
people and the environment. The
purpose of the Partner of the Year

contributions of Safer Choice partners
and stakeholders who, over the past
year, have shown achievement in the
design, manufacture, selection, and use
of products with safer chemicals, which
furthers outstanding or innovative
source reduction.
