UNIDO Chemical Leasing - narrative report (2019)
UNIDO is promoting the Chemical Leasing concept with the direct support of the Austrian, German and Swiss Governments. The basis of the model is the idea that economic success no longer depends on the volume of chemicals sold, but on the service that the chemicals provide or the result they deliver in the production process. Chemical consumption becomes a cost factor in the production process rather than a revenue factor. Accordingly, the business partners and the environment benefit from the co-creation of jointly developed resource-efficient and innovative solutions and fair profit-sharing.
UNIDO’s Global Chemical Leasing Programme is fully in line with UNIDO’s mandate to promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization at the global level and contributes to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 9 and all the other goals adopted by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Programme is UNIDO’s response to the “unsustainable management of chemicals in industries and lack of cooperation among chemicals producers and users.”
In 2019, the Chemical Leasing activities focused on promotion, capacity building and the preparation for the Global Chemical Leasing Award 2021.
