Sustainability in the chemicals and process industries
Our very first CEO Day was a cornerstone event that set the stage for a transformative dialogue within the Chemical and Process industries. Titled “People, Planet, Profit,” this event challenged industry leaders to consider how a synergy between human-centric operations, environmental stewardship, and profitability could redefine their business models.
Insights from the EDGE case study vividly illustrated the impact of prioritizing the human element, fostering a culture of innovation and dynamic workplace improvement. The event also spotlighted sustainability champions like the Port of Antwerp and Umicore, who have excelled in implementing circular supply chains and reducing emissions. Moreover, the Arlanxeo case study provided a clear roadmap for embedding continuous improvement mechanisms that align financial success with environmental and social objectives.
This inaugural event has not only resonated as a beacon of innovation and sustainability but also continues to inspire strategic rethinking across the sector.
