Navigating the complex regulatory landscape between China and the U.S., Peter Huntsman, CEO of Huntsman Corporation, sheds light on the critical challenges and opportunities within the global chemical industry. Host Victoria Meyer sits down with Peter to discuss the fast-paced approval processes in China compared to the stringent regulations in the U.S., the long-term perspective needed for investments in this industry, and the impact of public detachment from the industrial origins of chemical products.

Peter also delves into the intricacies of operating in the European market, influenced by anti-manufacturing policies and geopolitical tensions, and discusses the necessary transformation strategies Huntsman Corporation has adopted over the past two decades. From the Huntsman family legacy to the pivotal role of smart carbon utilization, this episode uncovers the resilience and adaptability required to thrive in the ever-evolving chemical industry.

Join us to learn more about these topics this week:

  • Origin of Huntsman: From selling clam shell containers to supplying airplanes with materials
  • The role of chemicals in the energy transition
  • Regulatory challenges: chemical innovation approval delays
  • Administration uncertainty, regulatory risk, and public perception of the chemical industry
  • European regulation and impact
  • Business Transformation: growing, selling, and changing businesses and aligning your organization
  • Characteristics attributed to successful leadership

Killer Quote: "Transformation isn't just a strategy; it's a necessity. The decisions we make today, in an ever-evolving regulatory landscape, will resonate for decades. It’s not about chasing carbon neutrality—it’s about being smart with carbon utilization and continually innovating for a smarter, more sustainable future." — Peter Huntsman, CEO of Huntsman Corporation
