Staying the course

The past year has tested the resilience of Europe's Chlor-Alkali industry, and the challenges are far from over. Persistently high electricity costs, low utilisation rates and an increasingly complex regulatory landscape continue to place significant pressure on our sector. Yet even under these conditions, Safety remains, and will always remain, our first and unwavering priority. It is the foundation of everything Euro Chlor does.

Competitiveness though has become a central focus of our work. Following a thorough review of our strategy by the Management Committee last October, Euro Chlor has sharpened its efforts to address the structural costs, particularly energy costs, that affect our industry's ability to compete. This goes hand-in-hand with ensuring that policymakers understand the realities facing our sector and the importance of maintaining a strong and competitive European chemical industry.

This report highlights these efforts, alongside our progress on Safety, Climate and Circularity.

As Chair of the Euro Chlor Management Committee, I would like to thank our members, committees and secretariat for their commitment during a demanding year. Our industry's contribution to Europe's economy and daily life remains essential, and we will continue working together to strengthen its competitiveness, sustainability and long-term future.
