Message from Chris

The chemicals sector is facing a gathering storm of new regulatory challenges and shifting societal demands.

There is an urgent need to address new questions, such as on the persistence and mobility of chemicals in the environment.

Having spent 15 years working at the science-policy interface, I understand what the industry is up against.

My mission is to deliver a service that enables you to meet these challenges head on.
