3 silicone industry associations in EU, Japan and North America respectively are organized globally and are driving key initiatives through close communication and collaboration.

The Centre European des Silicones (CES) represents all major silicone producers in Europe. It is committed to informing down-stream industry, customers, and the public and promoting the safety of silicones from a health and environmental perspective. CES was formed in 1968 and is a sector group of CEFIC, the European Chemical Industry Council, which is both the forum and the voice of the European chemical industry.

The Silicones Environmental, Health and Safety Council of North America (SEHSC) is a not-for-profit trade association comprised of North American silicone chemical producers and importers. For more than 25 years, SEHSC has operated to fund research and promote the safe and responsible use of silicones. The organization also is involved in legislative and regulatory issues relating to silicone materials. Originally formed in the mid-1970s as the Silicones Health Council, the organization became SEHSC in 1993.

The Global Silicone Council (GSC) is a not-profit, international organization whose mission is to promote the safe use and stewardship of silicones globally. To accomplish this mission, GSC anticipates and identifies environmental, health, and safety initiatives, and coordinates strategies and activities of the three regional silicone associations (i.e., CES, SEHSC, SIAJ), which undertake these initiatives. GSC also encourages industry communication with international environmental, health, and organization such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Organization of Economic and Community Development (OECD), and the United nations (UN). Formed in 1993, GSC represents companies that produce and sell silicone products globally.
