The success of this sector is a key factor in the nation’s overall competitiveness and economic performance. The sector is the key link between trading partners nationwide.

Questions which were asked:

- How is the industry responding to environmental pressure? And where is this being generated from, Government or EPA?
- What’s the potential of the supply chain in delivering ‘real value’ successes to a company’s bottom line?
- Flexibility, visibility and performance improvement are key elements of successful relationships – why is this so important throughout the entire chemical supply chain?
- What have been the key focus areas for the institute in building partnerships with the industry? What progress has been made?
- What are the future goals of the institute?
