GCC-Dr. John Warner

On Tuesday, May 6th, Q-ACS hosted the Queen's University Green Chemistry Commitment Signing Ceremony, featuring an inspiring seminar by Dr. John Warner CEO & CTO of Technology Greenhouse. This gathering celebrated the Department of Chemistry’s achievement in becoming a Beyond Benign—Green Chemistry for a Sustainable Future Commitment signer – a milestone that Q-ACS helped attain.

Dr. Warner spoke on green chemistry as the foundation of sustainability and the circular economy, sharing powerful insights into how the field is shaping a more sustainable future.

Following the seminar, attendees connected over a networking lunch, celebrating this meaningful milestone together—it was a pleasure to see the Kingston chemical community unite in support of a shared commitment to sustainability.

This signing marks Queen’s official participation in the Green Chemistry Commitment, an initiative led by Beyond Benign—Green Chemistry for a Sustainable Future which supports institutions in integrating green chemistry principles into education and research.
