Chemical Industries Association

As a key building block of the economy, the UK #chemicalindustry should be at the heart of that economic, #environmental and social ambition. To help inform the next government's agenda, we propose a number of recommendations. Read our manifesto here🔗 cia.org.uk/Portals/0/Docu…

✅CIA secures 5% energy efficiency target for UK chemical sector. We have received confirmation that DESNZ has accepted CIA’s CCA counterproposal of a 5% energy efficiency improvement by 2030, down 7 percentage points from the 12% originally proposed. 👇 cia.org.uk/news/cia-wins-…

📽️ How is the UK economy doing? Which sectors are doing well? Which ones are imploding? And what does this all spell for @RachelReevesMP? A quick primer off the back of this morning's monthly GDP figs👇

@EdConwaySky @SkyNews highlights UK chemical production is down 20% since 2022. This mirrors what we hear from our members as industry struggles with high energy costs and weak demand. Our latest business survey shows this trend with no signs of recovery. cia.org.uk/economics-and-…

@JohnSwinney At a time of uncertainty bringing caution to all business decisions, this forum has built strong clarity between Scotland's Government, Scotland's businesses and Scotland's trade unions. We may not always agree with each other or even ourselves! but dialogue like this is right.

Very grateful to business and trade union colleagues who spent the morning at Bute House discussing the economic implications of tariffs and wider challenges. Hugely constructive conversation.

Today we were delighted to welcome Mary Jo Jacobi, Former Aide To President Reagan and @SarahBSmithVA from @UKGOP to speak with @EntForumUK members about the US-UK economic relationship and 2nd Presidency of President- Elect Trump. Thank you to @See_Chem_Bus for kindly hosting.

Ahead of the publication of the industrial strategy in spring 2025, we submitted our response to the plans outlined in the green paper. 📄 Read our full response here: lnkd.in/gJK63zaQ

The UK #chemical sector exports £60bn+ annually (half to the EU) but faces high energy costs & geopolitical instability. CIA Chief Exec, Steve Elliott, said: "Without action, the risk of decline is significant." Read more via @FT: ft.com/content/401fca… #EU #Regulation

Last week, we joined @biztradegovuk's mission to Turkchem Asia in Istanbul where our Head of International Trade presented on the UK’s chemical sector. Proud to be joined by members like @ThomasSwanChem, @1williamblythe (@Synthomer_Group ), @CrodaPlc & @Brenntag #TURKCHEM2024

This #ChemistryWeek, we’re spotlighting innovations in the chemical industry that are driving sustainable change. Here are some examples of how our members are leading us toward a greener tomorrow. Tackling climate change through #chemistry⬇️ #ShapingTheFuture

⏳ Short-term pain for long-term gain may be good, but for UK #manufacturing, the clock is ticking. Rising costs, weakening demand and cheap imports are squeezing the industry with no short-term improvement in sight, our latest Business Survey revealed. cia.org.uk/press-releases…

It's here. Let's get on with it, we look forward to the chemical industry playing its part in kick-starting UK growth and to seeing advanced manufacturing well represented on the new Council #thismatters
