COVID-19 closes up the problems of "global warming" and "economic disparity" caused by neo-liberal economy. In particular, disasters caused by abnormal weather, which frequently occur around the world, require an immediate response to "global warming".

In Japan as well, economic activities aimed at creating a "sustainable society" are being carried out nationally. On the other hand, especially in Western Europe, the idea of "regenerating the environment into a better state" goes beyond the "sustainable idea of not making the environment worse than it is now".

Even in Japan, some companies have already changed their business activities toward "regenerative" (regeneration), and at this symposium, we will discuss the long-term vision of the chemical industry with reference to advanced cases.
