The CCA will define which chemicals and production sites are considered “critical” - and eligible for future public funding. But from the outset, the chemical industry has played a leading role in shaping the criteria. So those most likely to benefit are writing the rules.

🔎 Key findings: 🔹 Industry-backed proposals shaped the Alliance 🔹 Industry outnumbers civil society 16 to 1 🔹 Civil society is excluded from key decisions 🔹 The process is moving fast, with limited transparency 🔹 Risk of locking in support for polluting production models

Crucially, the EU's draft list of "critical" chemicals includes hazardous substances like benzene, PVC, titanium dioxide and hydrofluoric acid (a PFAS precursor). Ignoring toxicity and environmental harm risks rewarding the dirtiest production with public funding.

We need an industrial strategy that supports safe, sustainable chemicals - not fossil-based chemicals industry, dressed up as industrial strategy. We need to stop handing privileged access & influence on the very companies that created the global pollution crisis we're living in.
