About us
The GoodElectronics Network brings together networks, organisations and individuals that are concerned about human rights, including labour rights, and sustainability issues in the global electronics supply chain, including trade unions, grass roots organisations, campaigning and research organisations, academia, and activists.
The International Campaign for Responsible Technology (ICRT) is an international solidarity network that promotes corporate and government accountability in the global electronics industry.

About the Chemical Challenge
In 2015, the International Campaign for Responsible Technology (ICRT), the GoodElectronics Network and their allies around the world, issued a Challenge to the electronics industry regarding the use of chemicals.
It is a call upon the electronics industry to adopt safer and more sustainable manufacturing practices, and to proactively reduce and eliminate chemical and physical hazards through the development and adoption of safer alternatives. This is necessary to protect and promote human rights, workers’ rights and the environment.
The Challenge has already been endorsed by over 200 organizations and individuals from more than 40 countries. Please sign the petition on Change.org to endorse The Challenge.
