A Commitment that Transcends Everything We Do
For our people, acting responsibly is second nature. It is embedded in every business process and function at Chemours—from managing biodiversity at our sites to nurturing a culture obsessed with safety to developing new opportunities for product applications. While we utilize tools such as environmental, social, governance (ESG) issue prioritization and a defined framework to manage our sustainability journey, the concept of sustainability at Chemours is broad, inclusive and a defining attribute of our organization.
Our Values
Our ambition to be a different kind of chemistry company, one dedicated to the principle of responsible chemistry, is embedded in our shared values. These five values are the ethical foundation for all that we do, as employees and as a company, and they are reflected in our Corporate Responsibility Commitment (CRC) goals.

Assessing Issues and Keeping Stakeholders Informed
