Unique Organization

The Roundtable is unique among organizations supported by the industry.

The mission, strategic priorities, and services provided by the organization can only be attained through the collaboration of the Green Chemistry Institute providing technical focus and a network of international green chemistry associations with the member companies identifying technical challenges and providing the pharmaceutical company perspective and expertise.

Strength through Collaboration

The strength of the Roundtable is more influential than the sum of its parts.

This collaboration results in a strong organization to prioritize research needs and influence research agendas, to interact with federal and international agencies and organizations, and to improve cost effectiveness of investment in the design and implementation of green chemistry and engineering tools specific to the industry.

The partnership also benefits from a global network of 25 international ACS Green Chemistry Institute^® (ACS GCI) affiliates, an extensive network of academic researchers across the world, and an affiliation with the American Chemical Society (ACS).
