The mission of the CMS Forum is to grow the awareness and practice
of economically and environmentally beneficial chemical management
services.
The CMS Forum is a program of the non-profit organization, the
Chemical
Strategies Partnership. It is a coalition of CMS
providers, their customers, Tier II chemical suppliers, and other
stakeholders interested in promoting chemical management services.
The CMS Forum was initiated by a group of leading CMS providers
who believe a collective effort is necessary to grow the market
for chemical management
services. Among other activities, the CMS Forum will
implement a targeted education campaign and promote the benefits
of CMS to help produce a more receptive customer base.
