Our 2030 Goals

How We Contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)

Just as real progress can only be made through the actions of motivated individuals, the contributions of individual countries working together can accelerate change exponentially to protect the planet. In keeping with our commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and our belief that companies have a role to play in achieving the UN SDGs, we mapped our 10 CRC goals to the UN SDGs and their targets to better understand where we can have an impact and add value.

All 17 of the UN SDGs are important; however, our level of engagement with or ability to accomplish each of them varies. Our responsible growth strategy and CRC goals align most closely with three of the UN SDGs—Clean Water and Sanitation, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Climate Action. To a lesser extent, we also contribute to the other 14 SDGs at a minor or moderate level and have identified the targets within each goal most closely connected to our activities

Individual Actions, Collective Progress

Last year, we defined how our corporate responsibility commitments would become fully integrated into our business operations and our overarching responsible-growth strategy, laying the groundwork for achieving our goals. In 2019, we focused on individual, human-scale actions that exemplified the power one person has to make a difference; we did this by empowering our employees to live our Collective Entrepreneurship value, asking them to speak up when they see how to do something better and to see themselves as catalysts for change. The progress highlighted in our 2019 report would not have been possible without the actions of each and every Chemours employee. From our global CRC champions spearheading initiatives at their sites to the participation of more than 500 employees in our inaugural Global CRC Day, the small acts of employees across our company enabled significant collective progress against our goals in 2019.
