10.30am - 12.30pm with lunch Recognising the growing importance of net-zero and wider sustainability (ESG) challenges to the future of our industry, CNW is launching a new interest group open to, and shaped by, its members. The CNW Sustainability Interest Group will focus on three inter-related areas:
KNOWLEDGE-SHARING to keep members informed and updated in this fast-moving space. This could include horizon-scanning regulatory developments, new frameworks and/or guidance, case-study examples of best or improved practices and providing advice on specific topics.
Raising ENGAGEMENT within the group membership and beyond. This could include members sharing experience, progress and learning from their own organisational journeys and widening engagement by welcoming new individuals/organisations.
Kickstarting and supporting deeper COLLABORATION between members to accelerate progress. Collaborations could be based on trying to solve common challenges, matching challenges with innovative solutions and overcoming common barriers.The first Chemicals Northwest (CNW) Sustainability Interest Group event will be held on the 20th November. This will be a semi-structured event facilitated by CNW member Roger Wareing - Wareing Consulting. Roger will give a short presentation setting the ESG context within the chemical industry and setting out what elements are required for an effective response. This will be followed by discussion/workshop sessions to better understand what individual members need in this area and the role that the interest group overall can plan in helping members successfully navigate sustainability (ESG) challenges. There will also be plenty of time for group networking around these sessions and during lunch. Members of Chemicals Northwest only. Free of charge to attend.
