Hosting Organization(s)
Change Chemistry

Event Description

Fluctuations in political, economic, and R&D cycles may introduce uncertainty and necessitate the reallocation of resources, which can affect the adoption of sustainable chemistry and greener processes. Such disruptions have the potential to compromise long-term business resilience, elevate risk levels, and adversely impact both human health and the environment. Continuing to advance sustainable chemistry in a changing environment requires continued policy, investment, and market commitments.

 

To ensure sustainable chemistry remains a priority, demonstrating and communicating its positive impact on all business functions and through the value chain is critical. During this webinar series, subject matter experts will share tools and insights to assist champions with effectively "making the case". Structured as a series of discussions, attendees will have the unique opportunity to pre-competitively engage with the speakers and other companies facing similar challenges.

 

During the first 3 webinars, experts shared the benefits of sustainable chemistry for investors, on domestic manufacturing, and business health. This webinar builds on these conversations by highlighting the need for education - both in academia and for workforce development - in order to build a workforce with sustainable chemistry knowledge and skill sets. Juan Colberg from Pfizer will discuss the business benefits of a sustainability minded workforce and needs to attract this talent. Amy Cannon from Beyond Benign will share how our community can support students and educators in training the next generation for success.

 

*This webinar is available to Change Chemistry members only.
