To further its implementation of a strategic plan to scale an independent mission-drive business association, The Green Chemistry and Commerce Council (GC3) has established a new, expanded member advisory committee that better represents the depth and breadth of the diverse stakeholders participating.
The Committee will serve many functions. These include acting as a mechanism for gathering feedback and input; maintaining awareness of member needs and priorities; cultivating strong relationships among members; gathering insight into market and external trends; and strengthening the movement to accelerate the adoption of green and sustainable chemistry.
The following GC3 members have volunteered to serve in this advisory role:
David Adenuga, Oxo Americas regulatory affairs advisor, ExxonMobil Chemical Company;
Chris Cassell, senior director of corporate sustainability, Lowe’s;
Todd Cline, director of research and development, Procter & Gamble;
James Ewell, strategy and business development senior manager, Scivera;

The council also welcomes Bill Hall, whose consulting practice emphasizes work at the nexus of supply chain management, resilience, and sustainability. He will work closely with GC3 strategic advisor Jim Jones, of JimJones Environmental, in managing the GC3’s supply chain working group and its circular economy initiative. B
Hall has three decades of supply chain experience in the automotive industry and is deeply involved in circular economy initiatives in his current work. He believes supply chain innovation can be a powerful means for value creation through resilience, transparency, and regenerative growth.
