How can companies assess whether chemicals, materials and resulting products are truly safe, sustainable and compliant throughout their entire life cycle? BLESS aims to answer this question by developing a comprehensive assessment methodology and interoperable digital toolset to make the process more accessible, user-friendly and cost-effective, particularly for SMEs.
