Innovation, Change and Adding Value In The Lubricants Industry
The downstream oil industry has been undergoing transformation to meet changing consumer needs, improve employee engagement and develop robust business models to counter the future dynamics of the sector. With the opportunities this creates, how do you get ahead, and avoid being left behind?

Educating a wider audience on the value of the lubricants industry
The downstream oil industry is widely misunderstood when it comes to the value it has in society, economy, environment and as a career choice. How can we change this perception? One important aspect is education about the positive initiatives the lubricants industry has taken in order to better protect the environment. It’s a sector of great importance that literally keeps the world moving, increasing reliability and efficiency, and decreasing emissions.
In April, to shine a light on the positive work of the sector, we wrote about the evolution of environmentally friendly lubricants and the role it has in the future, which you can read about, here.
