| Several internal policies and practices within firms can interfere with adoption of sustainable chemistry. Lack of knowledge and technical expertise in green chemistry and engineering, internal Return on Investment (ROI) requirements, lack of clear corporate and management expectations and metrics at all levels within the organization, insufficient internal cultural support, uncertainty about market advantages, among other disconnects can exist for individuals within companies who wish to incorporate sustainability principles in their work. The poster will present suggestions to meet these challenges. |
