Three executive perspectives on reducing structural costs, strengthening asset performance, and building lasting competitiveness in the chemical industry. Cost pressure in the chemical industry is no longer a temporary disruption. Elevated energy costs, global overcapacity, shifting demand, and growing regulatory requirements are placing sustained pressure on margins. Traditional cost-cutting programs may produce short-term savings, but too often they fail to address the underlying operational and structural issues—or deliver results that last. In this three-part video series, senior chemical industry executives and EFESO experts discuss where leaders should focus now, why many cost programs fall short, and how stronger operational performance can create a more competitive cost position. Michael Bolten discusses how chemical companies can identify immediate cost opportunities while protecting the capabilities needed for long-term performance.
