Sustainable Chemicals Expo 2024: a Review
Our colleague Thorsten Bies visited the Sustainable Chemicals Expo 2024 in Cologne. Despite the currently challenging market environment, it became clear that sustainability remains a relevant topic for our future.
A number of core topics were highlighted in various talks, which are necessary to be successful in this endeavour:
  1. Wide collaboration is required as circularity will require more and more interlinked value chains.
  2. A smart and pragmatic regulatory environment is required. In this context, many companies still struggle in finding transparent and reliable data for CO2 emissions along their products and value chains.
  3. Innovation is and will remain the key pillar of our competitiveness. Smart solutions will be required to fulfill growing customer needs while still staying price competitive. Many participants stated that a product just being “sustainable” doesn’t lead to competitive advantages and willingness to pay. In addition, new solutions must be innovative and provide additional performance or price advantages.

If you are interested in exploring how to identify the best opportunities in these new, challenging environments, our experts at Schlegel und Partner will be happy to support you in sustainable growth.
