Our 2030 Goals

BOLD STEPS TO HELP MAKE A BETTER WORLD.

We consider our Corporate Responsibility Commitment (CRC) to be a business imperative, an extension of our growth strategy and a reflection of our values. Through Chemours chemistry, we deliver innovative and sustainable solutions that are not only vital to living today, but also essential to addressing some of the world’s most pressing needs: clean energy, advanced infrastructure and transportation, medical devices and connectivity.

As a performance-driven organization, we have a set of goals to bring responsible chemistry to life by 2030. The commitments fall into three pillars—Inspired People, Shared Planet and Evolved Portfolio—and maps to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs or SDGs). Our ambitions align most closely with three of the SDGs—clean water and sanitation, responsible consumption and production, and climate action.

Our 2030 CRC 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 chemistry ethos 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.

Innovating Sustainable Solutions to Shape the Future

Keeping Our World Cooler

Our thermal management solutions protect the food chain, enable productivity at the office and schools, cool our technology infrastructure, drive energy efficiency, and make medical advancements possible. With our Opteon™ ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) product line, we do it all with less environmental impact.

Fueling a Zero-Emissions Future

To reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, solar and wind farms are key, together with other renewable energy such as green hydrogen. Chemours’ Ti-Pure™ is used in solar panel backing and in wind turbine coatings. Our Nafion™ membranes enable the generation of green hydrogen to power vehicles, accelerating a zero-emission and electrified mobility.

Helping to Deliver Critical Care

Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how Chemours has played a critical role in helping to keep communities safe with our medical solution products. Our offerings help ensure accurate COVID-19 testing, the durability of critical personal protective equipment, and the operation of ventilators, stress testing, anesthesia, and asthma monitoring in the treatment of chronic disease.

Advancing Plastic Circularity

Plastic products are a part of everyday life. In fact, the United Nations estimates we produce 400 million tonnes of plastic waste each year—the vast majority of which ends up in landfills. Our Ti-Pure™ titanium dioxide (TiO₂) team is leading a cross-value chain research initiative to change that. The goal is to develop a new, scalable plastic recycling process that can recover both TiO₂ and polymers for use in high-quality applications.
