Environmental management for chemical industry

Sustainability and compliance in the chemical industry.

We help importers, manufacturers and distributors who are making, storing, or procuring chemicals achieve compliance and sustainability goals as you develop products that suit the needs of a more environmentally conscious customer.

Chemicals in their many forms are critical for all UK manufacturing industry as well as healthcare

Tackling key challenges in the chemical sector

Energy consumption

Many chemical manufacturing processes can consume large amounts of energy, which means the industry is one of the biggest carbon emitters in the UK. Reducing emissions to achieve the climate change targets set out in the Paris agreement is vital. The industry understands that it needs to plan for its consumption of energy over the next century, investigating how it can become more sustainable while remaining competitive in a global economy.

Decarbonisation

Chemical companies will continue developing their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards to drive their decarbonisation strategies. Chemical companies need to consider their greenhouse gas emissions against all three scopes and consider renewable energy sources to meet Net-Zero targets.

Compliance

Changes to the chemical industry’s regulatory framework, including REACH, have introduced new levels of responsibility and risk in the supply chain.

These and other regulations such as DGSA and classification, labelling, and packaging (CLP) are all evolving and require an expert understanding to ensure ongoing compliance.
