The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) is the UK’s national trade association for chemical and chemistry‑using businesses. It represents companies of all sizes across manufacturing and the supply chain, providing a collective industry perspective to government, regulators, and other stakeholders on matters affecting the sector’s performance and licence to operate.
CIA’s activities cover policy and regulatory affairs (including UK REACH and chemicals management), climate and energy, environment, health and safety, trade, skills, and innovation. It coordinates the UK’s Responsible Care program, promotes best practice, and publishes industry insights and guidance. The association also facilitates networks and events to support member collaboration and knowledge sharing across the UK chemical industry.
