Welcome to CIA.

The Chemical Industries Association is the organisation that represents chemical businesses throughout the UK.

Our activities are split between lobbying and provision of advice and services. Our policy agenda stretches across the economy and competitiveness; our products and the way we work; health, safety & environment and employment issues.

The products and services of the chemical industry can be found in every area of our lives - from vital medicines, foods and clothing, through housing and transport, to communications and leisure activities.  Please click on the video opposite to see some examples of these products.

Our industry, which underpins so much of society's needs and wants, is also a significant provider of jobs and creator of wealth for the UK.

All our members are committed to achieving sustainable development. Playing a key role in this is the Responsible Care programme which requires that companies continuously improve their performance related to the safety of their sites, the health of their employees when at work and the impact of their operations on the environment. Partnership with chemical businesses forms policy at industry level and ensures standards at company level.

We hope that you find our website helpful, please let us know what you think. Contact us: enquiries@cia.org.uk or call +44 (0) 20 7834 3399

The Chemical industry is an industry that matters...
