Sustainability at Chemours

At Chemours, we are committed to making chemistry as responsible as it is essential. Our 2030 Corporate Responsibility Commitment (CRC) goals are a reflection of the culture, values, and ethics we embrace as a company, as well as an extension of our business strategy. Pursuing these ambitious goals challenges us to use strategic foresight to manage disruptions and continue innovating to provide next-generation solutions that are more sustainable and better serve the industries in which we operate. At the same time, they help ensure our products are responsibly manufactured in a manner that minimizes environmental impact and protects the communities in which we operate.

After completing our first Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), we began the process of refreshing our 2030 CRC pillars and goals to address the risks, impacts, and opportunities identified in the assessment. The insights gained from our DMA help us better meet the current and emerging needs of our business and our stakeholders. Several goals are in the process of being refreshed or integrated into business processes after being achieved. New aspiration statements have been developed in alignment with our company’s strategic priorities and will enable us to expand existing goals or introduce new targets as part of our future sustainability reporting.

Double Materiality Assessment 

In 2024, Chemours completed our first Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) to better identify and understand the sustainability risks and opportunities that are most material for Chemours and have the highest impact on our external stakeholders and society.

We will refresh our DMA regularly through interviews with a cross-section of employees, as well as deploying various business intelligence tools and benchmarks. The Chemours Sustainability Council (CSC) and leaders from our three business units will continue to provide feedback on the prioritized issues and validate the results of the research, survey, interviews, and data analytics processes. The results from the assessment will be combined with other business inputs to identify areas of focus and refine our commitments and disclosure practices. Prioritization and effective management of these risks, opportunities and impacts will be integrated into our strategy, business models, risk management, and governance processes to drive continued commercial success.

Our DMA prepares us to comply with emerging sustainability disclosure regulations, including assessments in line with the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The priority topics may shift as we update our DMA.

Double Materiality Informs Sustainability Goals Review 

Our DMA has been an important tool in helping us refresh our 2030 CRC aspirations and goals to align with the issues that matter most to our business and stakeholders, as well as address the evolving sustainability challenges facing our world.

We recognize the urgency of the material topics identified in our DMA and believe that Chemours’ science and innovation can be key levers of change and progress. To address Resource Use and Circular Economy, an important topic identified in our DMA, we are broadening our landfill intensity goal to incorporate more holistic circularity metrics focused around three categories: materials, water and energy. Within the water category of circularity, we are looking to evolve our strategy to expand beyond our direct operations to also include our value chain as we look to help address water stress and quality in our local watersheds.

In response to the Own Workforce category identified in our DMA, we are broadening the scope and focus of our Trusted Employer sustainability aspiration to move beyond simply increasing representation to actively creating an inclusive environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, and have a sense of belonging and the opportunity to develop at Chemours.

The DMA is helping us evolve our 2030 CRC aspirations and goals, build on our achievements and drive more impact, as we collaborate to further advance our commitments and meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Read on to explore the multitudes of possibilities that this alliance has to offer in the restoration industry.

Why team up with Cotality?

Cotality’s dynamic and robust software solutions offer a connected ecosystem that maximizes efficiency, improves workflows and accelerates growth.

The decision to join forces with Cotality was driven by a shared vision: to aid the businesses that provide home restoration with the financial and accounting tools, insights and agility they need to thrive. We wanted to target all the restrictions that limit these businesses, such as:

Faith Leaders Launch Global Prayer Campaign to Raise Awareness About The Humanitarian Crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Friends of the Congo, The National Council of Churches in Christ, Trinity United Church of Christ, The Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, Living Water AME Church, Redeemers Church of Christ, The United Methodist Church – General Board of Church and Society, and a collective of other faith institutions will kick off their Congo Global Prayer Campaign on Sunday, October 19. This yearlong worldwide, interfaith initiative calls for people across the globe to stand in solidarity with the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) through united, intentional prayers for peace, justice, and healing.

The DRC is home to the deadliest conflict in the world since World War II, where at least six million Congolese have perished largely as a result of a scramble for its precious and strategic minerals. Hundreds of thousands of women have been systematically raped as a weapon of war. Approximately seven million Congolese are internally displaced, and more than 25 million need emergency relief.

“Do not forget the suffering of the people. Amplify their voices and tell the truth about what is happening in the Congo,” beseeched one frontline organizer trapped in the midst of the conflict. The goal of the campaign is to mobilize interfaith leaders and their followers to spearhead a worldwide moral appeal for peace, justice, and dignity for the Congolese people.

Global Effect of the Congo Crisis
The Congolese people have been blessed with spectacular wealth of diamonds, gold, coltan, copper, cobalt, and a plethora of other minerals that economists say are valued at $24 trillion. Despite its tremendous wealth, 70 percent of Congolese live on less than $2.15 a day. The entire world benefits from Congo’s resources. The natural minerals in the Congo are vital to the functioning of smartphones, computers, video games, automobiles, airplanes, solar panels, and a range of other electronic and technology devices.

“What does it mean when mining brings increased poverty where the minerals are mined? The tragedy that is happening in the Congo is a shame for humanity,” says Congolese Indigenous leader Samuel Yagase. “The big challenge is how can we as a global community ensure that the critical minerals that are needed for the entire world brings prosperity for everyone, starting with the people living where the mining is done.”

The DRC’s minerals are crucial for the global energy transition. Its rainforest is indispensable to combating the climate emergency. That’s why it is incumbent upon everyone to support the Congolese on the frontlines who are responsible for protecting and preserving the Congo basin rainforest for the benefit of the entire planet.

Unifying in Faith and Prayer
Faith leaders will launch the Congo Global Prayer Campaign on Sunday, October 19, as part of Friends of the Congo’s Breaking the Silence: Congo Week, which runs from October 19 to 25. Organized annually since 2008, Congo Week is a global awareness raising undertaking in which communities throughout the globe host teach-ins, film screenings, fundraisers, cultural events, and much more to educate people about the Congo and mobilize support for frontline communities.

The public is invited to participate in the launch of Congo Global Day of Prayer on October 19 by joining a prayer network, hosting a prayer gathering, committing to daily prayer, sending letters of support to U.S. lawmakers, sharing and amplifying stories on social media, and donating to humanitarian relief efforts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Visit www.friendsofthecongo.org for more information about the Prayer Campaign and Congo Week events.

Polyplastics’ DURAST (R) Fine Powder Technology Unleashes New Manufacturing Possibilities for Engineering Plastics

TOKYO, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Polyplastics Group, a global leader in engineering thermoplastics, has announced the introduction of DURAST (R) Powder technology which transforms high-performance resins into fine powders, enabling the use of diverse manufacturing processes from prototyping to 3D printing and mass production.

Image:
https://cdn.kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M100475/202509175298/_prw_PI1fl_rIzB112j.jpeg 

The DURAST (R) Powder technology successfully micronizes high-strength, high-molecular-weight resins — which were previously difficult to powder — into various shapes such as spherical or fibrous forms based on application requirements. In particular, high-performance resins like liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) faced challenges with conventional grinding methods, such as particle agglomeration and reduced flowability. Using Polyplastics’ proprietary technology, DURAST (R) Powder achieves uniform powderization with an average particle size of approximately 1-100 micrometers for LCP. This powder exhibits excellent powder flowability and mixing dispersibility, contributing to process stability and improved quality.

Resins such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyacetal (POM) pose significant challenges in terms of micronization due to their low glass transition when processed via conventional grinding methods. In the case of PBT and POM, the glass transition temperature (the temperature above which resin softens) is low, causing the material to easily agglomerate due to friction heat during grinding. The new technique has successfully enabled the powderization of these high-molecular-weight resins. When considering the thermal and mechanical properties of these resins and selecting powderization methods suited for each, the technology produces powders with particle sizes ranging from 20 micrometers to 100 micrometers with a narrow particle size distribution.

DURAST (R) Powder is suitable for additive manufacturing using 3D printers and powder sintering, enabling the production of complex shapes and high-precision parts. Additionally, it is expected to be utilized as a matrix resin for carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and as an organic filler or reinforcing material.
