Hoja de ruta de la Comisión Europea para la eliminación progresiva de los ensayos con animales en la evaluación de la seguridad química

This year marks the 20^th anni­ver­sary of the Euro­pean Part­nership for Alter­na­ti­ve Approa­ches to Ani­mal Tes­ting (EPAA). Its Annual Con­fe­ren­ce this year was a sig­ni­fi­cant miles­to­ne in pro­mo­ting inno­va­ti­ve, huma­ne, and scien­ti­fi­cally robust alter­na­ti­ves to ani­mal tes­ting for regu­la­tory scien­ce. IFRA was proud to par­ti­ci­pa­te in the events, con­tri­bu­ting to dis­cus­sions that sha­pe the futu­re of scien­ce-dri­ven and sus­tai­na­ble safety assessments.

The Regu­la­tory Scru­tiny Board (RSB) issued a nega­ti­ve opi­nion on the impact assess­ment for the REACH revi­sion Com­mis­sion proposal.

The IFRA Pre­si­dent, Ale­xan­der Mohr, PhD, together with IOFI Execu­ti­ve Direc­tor, offi­cially wel­co­med four more Chi­ne­se mem­bers as sig­na­to­ries to the IFRA-IOFI Sus­tai­na­bi­lity Char­ter during a cere­mony at the ESG forum of the CAFF­CI Annual Mee­ting. The new sig­na­to­ries are : Yinghai (Cangzhou) Aro­ma Che­mi­cal Com­pany Ltd.; Boton Fla­vors & Fra­gran­ces Co., Ltd.; Sina­ro­ma Tech (Jiao­zuo) Ltd.; and Hangzhou Gras­cent Co., Ltd. The cere­mony follo­wed the IFRA and IOFI execu­ti­ves’ pre­sen­ta­tion on the fra­gran­ce and fla­vours sus­tai­na­bi­lity charter’s fra­me­work and key out­co­mes outli­ned in the 3^rd IFRA-IOFI Sus­tai­na­bi­lity Report.Eight mem­bers of the fra­gran­ce and fla­vor (F&F)national asso­cia­tion in Chi­na, CAF­FIC, have joi­ned the Char­ter signatory’s com­mu­nity in 2025. This increa­sing num­ber reflects a gro­wing inter­est among Chi­ne­se F&F com­pa­nies in glo­bal sus­tai­na­bi­lity initia­ti­ves, reflec­ting their rising com­mit­ment to Envi­ron­men­tal, Social, and Gover­nan­ce (ESG) principles.
