Where ambition meets action: GIC since spinning out from the WEF
The chemical industry sits at the centre of one of the most important industrial transitions of our time. It is responsible for more than double the CO₂ emissions of the aviation sector, yet essential to almost every product we rely on daily.
GIC CEO Charlie Tan and Jörgen Sandström, Head of Transforming Industrial Ecosystems at the World Economic Forum, reflect on what is actually needed to move the needle and why the biggest challenges facing the sector can only be tackled through structured collaboration, rather than any single company working alone.
Drawing on over two years of GIC’s work, including the Automotive Plastics Circularity project, the piece explores what practical, project-based collaboration looks like in reality, where the barriers to scaling remain, and where the sector needs to go next.
