SABIC, a global leader in diversified chemicals, has successfully co-organized the 2nd ‘Lights of Our Future’ Sustainable School Design Competition at the company’s Shanghai Plant today with JA China, the Chinese chapter of the non-profit organization Junior Achievement which focuses on educating students on work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy. This annual competition is an extension of the ‘JA-Lights of Our Future’ program, initiated and sponsored by SABIC, which aims to encourage students to apply the academic knowledge they have learned in class to their daily life, while considering the practical correlation between environmental preservation and economic development. The final competition was held in conjunction with SABIC’s Open-to-Public Day (OTP) 2018, which also underscores SABIC’s firm support for the Association of International Chemical Manufacturers (AICM) and its initiatives. This year’s OTP theme “Green Architecture Inspired by Innovative Chemistry”, also aptly reflect the objective of the ‘Lights of Our Future’ program - striving to educate the ideology of creating a better and sustainable future with the power of chemistry.
