Progress is an unstoppable, transformative force. New technologies, product advances and globalization are arriving one on top of another at a dizzying pace. Innovation makes us more efficient, more productive and more connected. But there is a cost, and that cost is risk.

Hand in hand with progress, innovation inherently creates risk. For every new idea, invention or process that enhances the way we live or work, new potential threats to safety and security emerge. Fueled by advances in technology, globalization and interconnectedness, unforeseen risks are arriving faster than ever before.

New risks present us with new challenges and expose us to new hazards. Synthetic materials in today's building products and furniture make home fires more dangerous and unpredictable. Tighter building environments and product emissions can expose us to airborne toxins. Transaction technologies now make us vulnerable to hackers, and access to sustainable sources of clean and reliable energy is fast becoming a universal issue.

Synthetic materials, new types of smoke and complex energy sources are making fires today more hazardous than ever before. New Science is helping to mitigate the risks involved.

Technology is transforming transactions — offering greater ease, speed and mobility — but also creating potential security risks. New Science is working to safeguard innovation and protect transactions.

From energy generation to distribution, management and usage, New Science is helping to advance new sustainable sources and technologies, making energy cleaner, more reliable and more efficient.

As people use more chemicals at home, at school and at work, it is critical that we use New Science to understand potential hazards and minimize adverse health effects.
