CANADA'S COATINGS CONFERENCE

Focused on Regulatory Affairs, Coatings Innovation,
and Sustainable Development in Canada

The new world order continues to evolve and there are many lessons learned from the past several years in the pandemic and the new challenges posed by it. The CASE industry is ready to take on a brave new world with strategic investments in innovation, optimizing existing production where possible, supply chain management with increased digitization, etc. All the while they seek to ensure more sustainable products and processes for their customers and the environment. The industry has come a long way in the past five years with more sustainably sourced products, reduced intensity in the production of those products and strong commitments to sustainability especially as it relates to the environment while honouring the other two pillars, economic and social governance. Neither one of the three can exist without the other to ensure a stable and vibrant coatings industry in Canada.
