ACS Corporation Associates and the Society of Chemical Industry Address Global Issues

ACS Corporation Associates and the Society of Chemical Industry are collaborating to address global issues.

Every one of us faces significant global issues. Through scientific innovation, new chemistry-based solutions are being constantly developed to address these issues. But still more needs to be done to speed up innovation, share chemical technologies, determine strategies for effective delivery on a global scale, and above all, catalyze action among all the key stakeholders.

It is to focus on some of these global imperatives that the ACS Committee on Corporation Associates (CCA) and the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) have joined forces to develop a collaborative venture called the Gii. The Gii mission is to create community and knowledge transfer to stimulate global scientific innovation that meets societal imperatives. In particular, both organizations are interested in collaborating in areas where they can stimulate industrial innovation to tackle societal imperatives.

The first imperative chosen for the Gii program is water. The Gii aims to stimulate real action. This will require engagement from a wide range of stakeholders: educators, multinational businesses, non-governmental organizations, and governments.

CCA and SCI are excited about the prospect of creating opportunities to make a real difference. We hope you will want to contribute to these challenges by bringing your expertise and influence. Learn more at www.thegii.org.
