ISC3 and SNI Strengthen Cooperation to Advance Sustainable Chemistry in Peru

Letter of Intention provides framework for joint activities until 2028 – SNI celebrates 130 years of industrial leadership

The International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) congratulates the Sociedad Nacional de Industrias (SNI) on its 130th anniversary and celebrates a growing partnership dedicated to advancing Sustainable Chemistry and sustainable industrial transformation in Peru.

Founded in 1896, SNI has played a central role in Peru’s industrial development for more than a century. Today, it continues to serve as an important platform for dialogue, innovation and collaboration between industry, government and academia.

Building on this shared commitment to sustainable development, ISC3 and SNI signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) in 2026, establishing a framework for cooperation until the end of 2028. Through this partnership, both organisations aim to strengthen knowledge exchange, foster innovation and support the transition towards more sustainable industrial processes and value chains.

Strong partnerships are essential to accelerate sustainable industrial transformation. We highly value our cooperation with SNI and its Chemical Industry Committee and look forward to further expanding our joint activities in Peru, said Dr. Thomas Wanner, Managing Director of ISC3.

Since the signing of the Letter of Intention, ISC3 and SNI have successfully implemented several joint initiatives. These include a Training of Trainers workshop on Power-to-Chemicals, a National Dialogue Forum on Sustainable Chemistry and joint participation in the Expo Industria event. The activities have brought together representatives from industry, government institutions, academia and vocational education, creating valuable opportunities for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and capacity building.

The cooperation has contributed to raising awareness of Sustainable Chemistry as an important enabler of innovation, competitiveness and sustainability within the Peruvian industrial sector. By connecting stakeholders from different sectors, ISC3 and SNI are helping to create a collaborative ecosystem that supports the development and implementation of sustainable solutions.

Looking ahead, both organisations intend to continue their cooperation on topics of strategic relevance, including sustainable approaches to electrical and electronic waste management, circular economy solutions and sustainability in the pharmaceutical sector.

As SNI celebrates its 130th anniversary, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering innovation and sustainable industrial development in Peru. Our cooperation with ISC3 provides a valuable platform to connect industry, government and academia, and to advance Sustainable Chemistry as a key driver for competitiveness and environmental responsibility. We look forward to further strengthening this collaboration in the years ahead, said Engineer Bruno Alecchi, President of the Chemical Industry Committee of the National Society of Industries (SNI).

Through their joint activities, ISC3 and SNI reaffirm their commitment to promoting Sustainable Chemistry, fostering innovation and supporting sustainable industrial development in Peru and beyond.
