India's chemicals logistics industry is witnessing phenomenal growth due to rising domestic consumption, increased exports, and the country's favorable geography for freight transportation. The global chemical logistics market was pegged at US $170.98 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach US $279.47 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of approximately 8% whereas the Indian chemical logistics market was valued at around US $1.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 10% during 2021-2026.

The growth of the chemical logistics industry needs to be supported by an environmentally sound and socially responsible sustainable policy. Sustainability is the future for logistics and supply chain businesses. It is beyond going green and being environmentally friendly, it has an influence on manufacturing processes, starting from where raw materials are obtained, processes involved, use, and potential recycling of the product or service. The chemical industry has a crucial role in ensuring that chemicals are safely transported and stored while minimizing the impact on the environment. By implementing sustainable logistics practices, the chemical industry can create value, reduce costs, and contribute to a sustainable future.

The session will discuss industry's ability to anticipate, prepare for, and recover from risks and disruptions while ensuring continuity of operations, minimizing losses, and meeting customer demands. 

Topics to be covered in the session include: Policy Support: Sustainability focus in National Logistics Policy, PM Gati Shakti, and Sagarmala; Sustainable business; Sustainable supply chain and logistics; Use of green logistics; Adoption of sustainable packaging; Safety and risk management; Investment in technology; and Collaboration and partnerships.
