Fifteen delegates representing Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines convened for a training session on Know-Your-Customer (KYC) practices and Suspicious Indicators relevant to Chemical Suppliers and Distributors. This event took place in Bangkok, Thailand from November 18-20, 2024. The three-day program was organized by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State’s Chemical Security Program (CSP).

Participating in the training were members from the Samahan sa Pilipinas ng mga Industriyang Kimika, Inc. (SPIK), including Responsible Care Council (RCC) chairperson Engr. Reinier Jay Bagabay and RCC member Engr. Jorence Rocamora.

Dr. Christine Straut Langlinais and Dr. Mo Payne from SNL led the training focused on enhancing awareness of chemical security issues and recognizing warning signs that could indicate attempts to disrupt illegal procurement activities. They also covered principles of Know Your Customer (KYC), along with best practices and strategies for implementation. Furthermore, they introduced the KYC Indicators Evaluation Tool, designed to assist businesses in identifying and evaluating suspicious purchase requests.

During the registration process, manuals translated into various languages according to the participants’ nationalities were provided. The discussions concentrated on foundational concepts, guiding principles, case studies, interactive scenario-based activities, and the exchange of best practices, challenges, and solutions.

Upon conclusion of the training, participants gained vital knowledge to help reduce potential risks associated with chemical security. Dr. Langlinais and Dr. Payne emphasized the necessity of awareness and vigilance in protecting chemical substances. The session concluded with a closing statement from Dr. Langlinais, followed by the presentation of certificates to each attendee.
