About SCI
The
Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) is a unique international
forum where science meets business on independent, impartial
ground. Anyone can join, and the Society offers a chance to
share information between sectors as diverse as food and agriculture,
pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, environmental science and
safety.
Originally established in 1881, SCI is a registered charity
with individual Members in over 70 countries. Its international
headquarters are in London, UK, and it has offices in the
USA, Canada, Australia, India and mainland Europe.
Ever since its foundation, SCI's principal objective
has been to further the application of chemistry and related
sciences for the public benefit.
The Society's strategic statements are:
- SCI Purpose: Promoting the commercial application of science for the benefit of society
- SCI Vision: To be recognised worldwide as a leader in promoting the beneficial application of science
- SCI Positioning: By bringing together people in science and business, SCI fosters the exchange of knowledge to develop the application of sustainable science which upholds the principle of Corporate Social Responsibility.
The Society of Chemical Industry is a democratic organisation governed by a Board of Trustees. Four Board Advisory Committees oversee the various aspects of SCI's activities. The Executive, led by the Chief Executive, run the day-to-day affairs of the Society. (More information on Governance).
The Society provides an important interface between industrial,
academic and other interests. Although the majority of SCI's
activities still take place in Great Britain, a large percentage
of current Members live in other parts of the world.
