Get ready for a big gathering on chemical safety and sustainability in Asia. The Asian Chemicals Forum (ACF) 2025 kicks off on October 8-9 at the ITC Maratha in Mumbai, India. This event brings together experts from around the world to tackle key issues in chemical regulation and eco-friendly practices.
Organized by the Regulatory Representatives and Managers Association (RRMA) and the Helsinki Chemicals Forum (HCF), with Global Product Compliance (GPC) as the main sponsor, ACF 2025 draws government officials, business heads, NGOs, and researchers. They aim to spark real conversations on chemical safety management, staying compliant with rules, and building a greener chemicals industry across Asia and further afield.
This isn’t just talk—it’s action. After a strong start in 2023, ACF 2025 focuses on hot topics like how global rules affect Asian markets, fresh challenges and chances in the chemicals sector, updates on the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for chemicals, and worldwide targets for chemical safety.
Expect an exciting two-day lineup. You’ll hear keynote talks from top voices at the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Panel discussions will feature policymakers and company leaders diving into industry hurdles. There’s also a CEO roundtable on creating sustainable chemical products, plus the Compliance Expo Asia 2025 showcasing the latest tools for regulation and green solutions. Don’t miss the RRMA’s annual meetup with hands-on training to boost your knowledge.
Why should you go to this chemical regulation conference in Mumbai? It’s your chance to connect with global pros and regulators from Asia and Europe. Discover new ways to handle chemical risks and meet compliance needs. Pick up tips on coming trends in rules and sustainability. Network with top execs, policymakers, and innovators during sessions and the expo. Companies can even shine as leaders through speaking slots, sponsorships, or booths.
The organizers call ACF 2025 a spark for teamwork and real change. “We’re building key discussions to help the industry handle shifting regulations and push forward responsible chemical management,” they say. It’s the perfect spot to stay ahead of policy changes, lock in compliance, and gear up for sustainable growth in the chemicals sector.
Big names are on board. International speakers include Geert Dancet from RRMA and former ECHA head, Jacqueline Alvarez from UNEP, Bob Diderich and Eeva Leinala from OECD, Oliver Wootton from UNITAR, Joonas Alaranta from ECHA, Agnes Lau from BASF in Singapore, and experts from Japan’s Ministry of Environment, Peking University, and more.
From India, you’ll see leaders like Dr. Ekta Kapoor from the GLP Authority, Shikhar Jain from CII, Dr. Nadeem Khan and Dr. Abhay Deshpande from JRF, Dr. Satish Wagh from CHEMEXCIL, Anil Jauhri from RRMA, Ravi Kapoor from ICC’s Sustainability Committee, and reps from companies like Sanmar Group, TATA Chemicals, UPL, and Aditya Birla.
Flashback to ACF 2023: Held in New Delhi on September 5-6, it pulled in over 250 pros for hybrid sessions on chemical safety, the UN’s chemical framework, and handling substances like PFAS. The panels, training, and networking set a high bar for collaboration in Asia’s chemical industry.
ACF 2025 builds on that buzz, going bigger with more global players. It zeros in on new rules, sustainability goals, and team-ups across sectors to shape the future of safe chemical use in the region.
Partners include the Indian Chemical Council (ICC), Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), CHEMEXCIL, Enhesa, OECD, ECHA, the European Commission, UNEP, UNITAR, the United Nations, WHO, ILO, and the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (IACC).
