Chemours is now one of more than 8,000 participating companies that have pledged to operate responsibly and in alignment with universally accepted sustainability principles, to take actions that support the betterment of society, to engage locally where the company has a presence, and to report annually on Chemours' ongoing efforts.

          "Chemours is a performance driven company dedicated to making chemistry as responsible as it is essential to everyday life," said Chemours President and CEO Mark Vergnano.

          "We are already taking meaningful steps towards achieving our 2030 goals and will report our progress every step of the way. We are fully committed to being a new kind of chemistry company for a world that demands more."
