Event Details

Increasingly, organisations are making commitments towards a more sustainable future. However, for many in the lubricants industry, sustainability is not yet integrated into their overall strategy or corporate narrative — particularly smaller companies. For ALIA, the sustainability agenda goes beyond operating in an environmentally responsible manner. ALIA is committed to environmental, social and community stewardship with our members, the industry and our surrounding communities.


This virtual roundtable discussion is designed to accelerate the sustainability agenda for the lubricants industry by initiating conversations on the opportunities afforded by sustainability. Key themes in the roundtable discussions are: benefits of sustainability for the future of the lubricants industry; stepping into sustainability, where to start?; and challenges and experiences of the trailblazers. Three speakers will be sharing their sustainability insights and the session will be moderated by Charlotte Kehoe, technology manager at BP Singapore and chair of the ALIA Sustainability Subcommittee.


Registration fee for ALIA and SEAS members is FREE and for non-members is US$50. Registration Deadline, February 20, 2022, 6:00 PM SGT


Registration is open here​.
