Case Study: Honeywell avoids PFAS legislation risk with Rasky Partners

Honeywell blocks PFAS bill with Rasky Partners as scope narrows to consumer products

Honeywell engaged Rasky Partners, Inc. to address a legislative challenge. Proposed legislation in Massachusetts sought to ban products containing PFAS by using an expanded definition that would have classified Honeywell's low-global-warming-potential refrigerants as PFAS, despite their EPA endorsement and environmental benefits.

Rasky Partners, Inc. implemented a comprehensive government relations strategy that included outreach to key policymakers, coalition-building, and engagement with environmental groups. The solution successfully educated legislators on the issue, resulting in the bill being amended to include a critical exemption for the refrigerants and narrowed in scope. Ultimately, the bill did not advance out of the House.
