The 36th Solvents Industry Association Annual General Meeting and Conference took place on Thursday, 29th September 2022

With Conference themes of sustainability, health & safety and the challenges that the chemical industry faces, a packed programme of guest speakers addressed a record number of Members and guests from more than 30 companies.

On the sustainability theme, SIA and ESIG Members Cepsa Chemicals, ExxonMobil Chemical, Haltermann Carless, Shell Chemicals and TotalEnergies Fluid presented their actions in meeting Net Zero targets, highlighting the great work that is taking place to reduce carbon emissions and overall environmental impact.

SIA Chief Executive Andrew Norman said, ‘We know that our solvent Producer Members are working hard to introduce new technologies and initiatives to reduce carbon impact and to achieve net zero targets, but the speaker programme for this year’s Conference enabled us to collate all of these activities into a sustainability snapshot for delegates, all in one place at the same time.

Today is just the start of our aim to inform people of the great work that is going on in our industry to tackle carbon emissions. Many thanks to all of our speakers, who have each offered a different insight into what can and is being done right now and in the immediate future, he added.
