Hours after U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Jon Husted (R-Ohio) introduced the Safer Choice Program Authorization Act (SCPAA) to formally authorize and strengthen the Environmental Protection Agency’s voluntary Safer Choice Program, the American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN) announced that over 100 businesses, trade associations, investors, and public health organizations have signed a letter to Congress urging bipartisan legislation to authorize and fund the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Safer Choice Program. Led by the American Sustainable Business Network, Household & Commercial Products Association, American Cleaning Institute, Change Chemistry, ISSA – the Association for Cleaning and Facility Solutions, Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility and Alternative Fuels & Chemicals, signers range from major consumer goods companies to small independent businesses, from hospital purchasing departments to public school districts — a cross-sector consensus that the program delivers real economic and public health value and deserves a durable statutory foundation.
