• To develop the "learned society" function within the Branch.
• To increase interactions with industry, other professional societies, and Government.

Members

• To actively encourage qualified chemists to join The RACI.
• To demonstrate the benefits of membership.
• To constantly upgrade the level of services provided to members.

Community

• To promote public awareness of the contribution made by chemistry to the well-being of the community and the role of chemistry in everyday life.
• To promote the development of well-informed community attitudes to chemists and chemistry through the educational system in schools.
