Industry Coordinating Group (ICG)
Industry Coordinating Group (ICG)
CEPA–ICG, is the Industry Coordinating Group comprised of 27 industry associations whose members use chemicals in products and it holds extensive multi-stakeholder consultations throughout the year on the federal government’s Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) assessing all chemicals in commerce in Canada. It engages with government officials using a technical, science-based approach to exchange information thereby ensuring officials have the data needed to make informed decisions on both chemical risk assessment and risk management, all based on the ‘weight of evidence.’ The stakeholder group’s mandate is to advocate risk-based and economically efficient ways of reducing risks to the environment or human health from chemicals assessed under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and accordingly controlled under that Act or under other Acts if the government decides they are better suited for control purposes.
