Science activists, on account of regulation, pressured the authorities that the products made with genetically modified organisms must be labelled. Insecticides known as neonicotinoids were found to affect the health of bees and many lawmakers urged the authorities to restrict the use of these insecticides. Also, a chemical leak in the American state of West Virginia fueled concerns among environmentalists over the lack of industrial toxicity data and oversight of the many substances used in the industry.

The challenges facing industrial giants, in the business front, including skyrocketing construction costs for the makers of chemicals was discussed. Also, the increasing calls from shareholders to boost profits through major reorganizations was also considered.
