    ESG AND SPECIALTY CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS

    Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is a primary focal point for Specialty and Fine Chemical Manufacturers. In a survey conducted by SOCMA, participating members sought resources and templates to assist in navigating the complexities of ESG.

    SOCMA created a task force of SOCMA members to monitor regulations and develop tools for companies to develop their ESG framework.

    For questions or inquires, contact Erika Krueger, Director, Industry Relations.
