Leadership Panel: Value Creation in the Lubricants Sector
Thursday, 9 May 2024
As the demand for lubricants continues to grow globally, the availability and pricing of base oils, additives, and attracting and retaining talent to the sector are all crucial factors in ensuring a resilient supply chain. In addition, the sector seeks to create value for emerging markets driven by the energy transition such as future fuels in transportation and energy sectors whilst at the same investing in the reduction of their own product carbon footprints and tackling challenges in lubricant formulation such as the phasing out of hazardous chemicals and meeting increasingly demanding OEM performance requirements. We invite you to join the opening plenary where a gathering of distinguished industry leaders, who are at the forefront of steering the lubricants sector through the complexities of the future, will come together to dissect the market trends and challenges that shape the trajectory of the lubricants industry.
