Building A Shared Agenda for Advancing Sustainable Chemistry

Wednesday, November 5, 2025
9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Romance Standard Time)

Please join Change Chemistry’s leadership and members for an invite-only strategic conversation across European private sector, civil society, and industry representatives on the topic of Building A Shared Agenda for Advancing Sustainable Chemistry. The goal of this meeting is to help shape a market activation strategy to significantly grow safer and more sustainable chemicals, materials, and products over the coming decade.  We will provide a Chatham House “safe space” for a candid discussion of the following questions: 

  • Where are we aligned in our goals and strategy for advancing sustainable chemistry? 

  • Where do we diverge in our goals and strategy for advancing sustainable chemistry? 

  • What factors tend to discourage alignment around a shared agenda? 

  • How might we overcome or reduce those barriers?
