Vibrant Communities

Stronger Individuals Build Stronger Communities.

We’re committed to being good citizens, upstanding stewards of our local environmental resources, and good neighbors with Unshakable Integrity. We believe that everyone at Chemours has a duty to listen to—and invest in—our communities.

We strongly believe that each one of us has a role to play in the communities around us, coming together to have a positive global impact. Whether we’re considering philanthropic investments or site operations, community needs and feedback are critical components of our decision-making process.

In 2018, we announced our Vibrant Communities goal—to invest $50 million in our communities to improve lives through increased access to STEM skills, safety initiatives, and sustainable-environment programs―with the hope of deepening our community relationships and advancing solutions to the needs of our communities. In 2019, we took our efforts even further. Through open and productive discussions, we deepened our relationships with community partners by conducting individual, site-specific outreach and programming efforts. The continuing dialogue has dramatically improved our ability to identify and address the greatest needs in our communities.

Building a Promising Future Together through Diversified Investments

In 2019, Chemours committed $2.5 million to the communities where we live and work, approving 56 grants across 19 locations and all regions, benefiting more than 1.2 million community members. Additionally, we developed our 2030 investment road map and set interim targets to help track our progress to our $50 million 2030 goal—and are pleased to have met our 2019 target.

Case Studies

Advancing Our CRC Goals through Local Actions.

In 2019, we hosted our first Global Corporate Responsibility Commitment Day on December 5—International Volunteer Day. We asked employees around the globe to take one step or action to advance one of our 2030 CRC goals. Many employees opted to participate in community service projects, while others hosted educational webinars or vendor meetings. More than 500 employees participated in more than 60 events across 29 locations in 13 countries around the world, totaling 1,000 hours of service.

Building More Sustainable Environments around Us

One of the largest collective employee efforts comes from our annual paid day of service, through which employees can give back and make a positive difference. Each of us at Chemours is committed to taking concrete actions to help build more sustainable environments in the communities where we all live and work. In our corporate hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, our paid day of service is led by the Chemours Black Employee Network (CBEN) and celebrated in conjunction with Martin Luther King Day. On January 21, more than 115 employees and their families rolled up their sleeves to beautify neighborhoods, coordinate youth activities, visit veterans, and prepare meals for those in need. Globally, over 750 employees used their paid days of service, totaling more than 5,400 hours.

Sharing Our Safety Obsession with the Next STEM Generation

Advancing our commitments to diversity, inclusion, and increased access to STEM for all, we also co-sponsored—in partnership with the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)—a two day student process-safety boot camp at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in September. This was the first AIChE process-safety boot camp hosted at an HBCU, and our Fayetteville Works team was proud to participate, sharing our Safety Obsession value, providing practical examples from their everyday work, and creating connections with potential future employees.
