Product Safety and Quality

We strive to reduce the operational emission intensities of our products, as well as their risks to human health and the environment, while meeting the needs of our customers. Our internal toxicology, epidemiology, and risk assessment professionals collaborate across internal businesses and participate in external industry groups to ensure we design and manufacture our products so they deliver sustainable performance and are safe for their intended uses.

Hazardous substances and communications

Our PSRA and new product development programs cover all new and existing offerings, and help determine the safety of our raw materials, intermediates, products, and byproducts. We conduct hazard assessments to evaluate current and emerging regulations, societal trends, industry standards, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) restricted substance lists to make informed product development and portfolio decisions. We manage the regulatory content in our Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) management system and apply regulatory rules required to create safety data sheets, regulatory labels and hazard warning label documents for customers in all languages and regulatory jurisdictions in which we do business.

Animal testing policy and program

Regulatory authorities require toxicological and ecotoxicological data to ensure the safety of our products. Guided by our animal testing policy, we are committed to conducting risk assessments by evaluating the use and feasibility of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). The Chemours Company will not own or operate any animal testing facility nor support any animal testing except where legally required or where it is deemed essential to protect the environment, health, and safety.
