Hans Casier has been unanimously re-elected by the members of the essenscia Governing Body as president of the Belgian sector federation of chemistry and life sciences. Casier is CEO of INEOS Phenol and INEOS Nitriles and has held the chairmanship since October 2018.
The renewed chairman's mandate is for a period of three years.
Hans Casier, Chairman essenscia: "The past three years have been fascinating but challenging, partly due to the corona crisis. Chemistry and life sciences have shown themselves to be an essential sector in difficult circumstances. Just think of vaccines, hand gels and protective materials. With the European Green Deal and the climate ambitions, new challenges await. We are convinced that, as a sector, we can provide the innovations, technologies and products to help realise those sustainable goals."
