UNJournal Jon Lee |  The Global Impact Coalition (GIC), a CEO-led collaborative platform for a net-zero chemicals future, is proud to announce LG Chem as its newest member.

As one of the world’s largest chemical companies and a leader in sustainable materials, LG Chem’s membership sends a strong signal to Asia and the broader industry that global collaboration is essential to developing sustainable and commercially viable solutions.

This milestone reinforces GIC’s growing global impact and highlights the importance of international partnerships in scaling up solutions to reduce emissions.

The GIC provides a unique opportunity to collaborate with peers and co-create solutions to accelerate the transition to a circular, net-zero future.
