PBI-Gordon Companies commends today’s decision affirming the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) congressionally mandated authority to establish consistent, science-based pesticide labeling.
“This decision reinforces the importance of a unified, science-based regulatory framework,” said Dr. Jackie Applegate, President and CEO of PBI-Gordon Companies. “The EPA’s rigorous review process provides the clarity, consistency, and confidence the industry depends on. A consistent, science-driven approach helps ensure the continued availability of effective tools that protect people, infrastructure, and the environment. It also strengthens the foundation for long-term innovation and responsible product stewardship.”
PBI-Gordon Companies will continue to champion policies that protect federal regulatory authorities, preserve consistent national standards, and ensure the specialty markets have the regulatory certainty needed to innovate, invest, and grow.
