From the Alps to Asia: Davos Takeaways and Our 2025 Vision
We're closing January invigorated by crisp Davos mountain air, energized by our Annual General Meeting, and excited to welcome LG Chem as our newest member.
This month, we took part in the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting, where we engaged with global leaders, drove critical conversations on accelerating collaboration across the chemicals value chain, and aligned with our CEO Advisory Board on the future direction of the Global Impact Coalition. The Board meeting was a success, generating enthusiasm and excitement amongst our members.
Looking ahead to 2025, we're set to deepen our impact—advancing and spinning off transformational projects, expanding our reach across the value chain, and amplifying our message on chemical industry transformation in executive circles and the global media. Join us in shaping the net-zero transformation of the chemicals value chain—reach out to get involved!
Our growing momentum is underscored by the addition of LG Chem, strengthening our presence in East Asia—a pivotal region for the future of the chemical sector. Their membership reinforces the importance of international partnerships in scaling solutions to drive emissions reductions.
"I joined GIC as Global Project Lead, where I'll bring my years of experience working as a project leader at Boston Consulting Group to guide our multiple working groups in their preparation of a clear and strong business case for sustainable industry transformation."
