At the third annual Chemistry Australia Industry Awards, Dunn was presented with a Hall of Fame accolade, sponsored by Holmwood Highgate, to celebrate his enormous contribution to industry.

Organisations and individuals from across the Australian chemistry industry were recognised for their outstanding efforts to demonstrate leadership and address some of Australia’s most pressing challenges, such as reducing carbon emissions, increasing the circularity of supply chains and improving the inclusiveness and health and safety of workplaces.

The event was held Thursday 8 May 2025 at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne
