Redefining EHS Excellence in Chemicals: Key Insights from the 2025 EHS Summit
In an era where safety, sustainability, and resilience are the true markers of industry leadership, the chemical sector must move beyond compliance—embedding Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) excellence at the core of its operations.
With global regulations tightening, stakeholder expectations rising, and operational complexity increasing, the imperative is clear: transform how we manage risk, protect people, and safeguard the environment. At the EHS Summit 2025, more than 150 senior leaders from across Europe came together to shape the future of safe, sustainable chemical manufacturing.
