[Chemicals](https://support.worldly.io/facility-data-manager-fdm?hsLang=en#chemicals) # Chemicals - General Introduction The use of chemicals in a facility’s production processes and operations can pose significant risks to the environment and human health if not managed systematically and responsibly.   As governments and industry stakeholders continue to focus on responsible chemicals management, this paves the way for more stringent requirements and regulations. New chemistries and technologies are also constantly being developed to support the reduction of hazardous chemicals in supply chains. Proactively managing and striving to eliminate or reduce the use of hazardous chemicals reduces impacts on the environment, exposure to regulatory risks or new requirements from business partners, and contributes to a more sustainable future.     [![Worldly logo](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Worldly%20Media%20Kit/Worldly%20Logos/Worldly_LogoTM_Red.png?width=120&height=30&name=Worldly_LogoTM_Red.png "Worldly logo")](https://www.worldly.io) © 2026 Worldly.
