Whether we are aware of it or not, the chemical industry and downstream sectors that use chemicals impact nearly every manufacturing and service sector worldwide and are deeply connected with humanity's way of living. The International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) facilitates the transformation of these sectors towards Sustainable Chemistry as a major contribution to achieving the United Nations SDGs. Sustainable Chemistry addresses the needs of the present without compromising the ecological, social and economic well-being of future generations.
As part of our ongoing SPOTLIGHT series, we are thrilled to invite you to our next online event:

Sustainable Chemistry as a Driver of Climate-Friendly Innovations
The overarching topic of the SPOTLIGHT 2024 event will be innovative approaches at the interface between Sustainable Chemistry and climate-friendly solutions, as well as the decarbonization of the chemical sector. We will explore how entrepreneurs, innovators, and stakeholders from policy and academia are contributing to this transition and how those approaches align with existing policy frameworks such as the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC).
