Mike Schade leads Toxic-Free Future’s Mind the Store program, which challenges retailers to shift the marketplace away from hazardous chemicals and develop comprehensive safer chemicals policies. Learn how Mind the Store’s influence convinced REI, one the nation’s largest outdoor apparel companies, to commit to stop selling PFAS containing consumer products in their stores 2024. We also talk about what goes into developing their Annual Retailer Report Card which grades America’s largest retailers on their management of toxic chemicals based on thirteen criteria, and more.  Thanks to our Sponsors: Cascade Environmental, The Center for Sustainability and Excellence, and Pace Analytical  #sustainability #climatechange #foreverchemicals #pfas #mindthestore #greenchemistry #sustainablebusiness #toxicfreefuture
