As the chemical industry navigates increasing complexity, volatility, and structural change, leadership has become a defining factor in sustaining performance and shaping long-term resilience. The Women in Chemicals Symposium, held in partnership with McKinsey & Company, returns for its 3rd edition as a dedicated platform to advance leadership capability and strengthen the role of women across the sector.
Bringing together senior executives, emerging leaders, and young talent, the symposium will explore how developing women across all career stages strengthens leadership pipelines, enhances decision-making, and reinforces industry resilience. Through focused discussions, insights, and peer exchange, it will highlight the critical role of attracting, retaining, and nurturing diverse talent in enabling the industry to endure, adapt, and remain competitive.
As part of the broader GPCA Forum, the symposium reinforces the industry’s commitment to developing a more inclusive, capable, and future-ready leadership pipeline — ensuring the sector continues to perform, adapt, and lead in an increasingly demanding global environment.
