Antoine Lavoisier, often called the “father of modern chemistry,” laid the foundation for the chemical sciences through his discovery of the law of conservation of mass, definition of elements, and introduction of modern chemical nomenclature. His pioneering work bridged scientific discovery with societal impact, setting a standard of excellence that continues to inspire today’s leaders. The Société de Chimie Industrielle honors this legacy through its International Palladium Medal and Excellence Awards, celebrating individuals and organizations whose innovation, leadership, and measurable impact echo Lavoisier’s enduring contributions to science and industry. 

Together, the International Palladium Medal and the Excellence Awards reflect Société de Chimie Industrielle’s commitment to honoring both individual leadership and organizational excellence that shape the future of the global chemical industry.
