Partners for a Healthy, Toxics-Free Future

IPEN collaborates with a wide spectrum of organizations and individuals, including many leading experts, medical and health organizations, and global public interest advocates.

Endocrine Society​

The Endocrine Society is the primary professional home for endocrine scientists and clinical practitioners to promote breakthroughs in scientific discovery and medical care, aiming to unite, lead, and grow the endocrine community, accelerating scientific breakthroughs and improving health worldwide. Together with IPEN, the Society has published three major reports on endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Scientists and Researchers​

IPEN collaborates with a wide variety of researchers and scientists who have expertise in public health and medicine, toxicology, marine sciences, and many other fields, including conducting mercury biomonitoring studies in cooperation with the Biodiversity Research Institute. IPEN also engages with other independent laboratories that conduct chemical analyses of samples collected by IPEN members for national and global research reports.

Partnerships for an Effective Chemical Framework

IPEN and five leading global organizations came together to develop a Common Statement to encourage organizations globally to work together in promoting the aims of the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC). With the Pesticide Action Network International (PAN), Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF), Health Care Without Harm (HCWH), and International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), this alliance will work toward implementing the GFC and support projects to address a wide range of chemical and waste concerns.

Project TENDR

Project TENDR (Targeting Environmental Neuro-Developmental Risks) is an alliance of more than 50 leading scientists, health professionals, and advocates working to protect children from toxic chemicals and pollutants that harm brain development. IPEN works with the Project to uncover and end threats to children’s health from hazardous chemicals.

UN Agencies and Officials​

IPEN collaborations with UN agencies have included projects focusing on women and chemicals, exposing health threats from plastics, country-based implementation of global chemical agreements, and many others. IPEN has worked with the UN Environment Programme, the World Health Organization, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteur on Toxics and Human Rights, and many others.

IPEN has demonstrated strong capacity in generating credible scientific data, often co-authoring reports and guidance with scientists, and translating it into effective policy advocacy tools. The importance of generating data locally is key [as is] IPEN’s role in building evidence through “citizen science” and using this data to influence national regulations and global discussions.
