WILMINGTON, Del., June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Chemours Company
(NYSE: CC), a global chemistry company with leading market positions in Titanium Technologies,
Thermal & Specialized Solutions, Advanced Performance Materials
and Chemical Solutions, was honored today by the American Chemistry
Council (ACC) with the 2021 Sustainability Leadership Award in the
Product Safety, Innovation, and Transparency category.
Chemours received the award for its sustainable offering
methodology, better known as EVOLVE 2030. EVOLVE 2030 is a
Chemours-developed, third-party validated method designed to
scientifically quantify the company's contributions to the UN
Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
"Our EVOLVE 2030 methodology is a leading-edge, science-based,
data-driven approach to measuring our contributions to the UN SDGs,
making it groundbreaking not only for our industry, but for the
world," said Sheryl Telford Chemours Chief Sustainability Officer
and Vice President of Environment, Health and Safety. "By
seamlessly integrating key sustainability information into
decision-making, we are able to drive more strategic portfolio
management, meaningful improvements in product imprints, and
ultimately drive value for our customers while minimizing the
impact on our shared planet. We are proud to have released a public
version of our methodology and shared our experience with the World
Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBSCD), ACC, The
Conference Board (TCB), customers, agencies, and other interested
stakeholders."
The EVOLVE 2030 initiative is a part of Chemours' Corporate
Responsibility Commitment (CRC) Goals, which were launched in 2018
and include 10 bold goals to achieve by 2030, each aligned with the
UN SDGs. The company's sustainable offerings goal is for 50% or
more of Chemours revenue by 2030 to come from offerings that make a
specific contribution to the UN SDGs.
This is Chemours' second Sustainability Leadership Award in the
program's short history, previously being honored in 2019 for the
development of Opteon™ low global warming potential
refrigerants, part of an industry-leading family of more
sustainable products the company offers. The ACC developed the
Sustainability Leadership Awards in 2019 to recognize ACC member
company achievements and contributions to sustainability in
priority areas highlighted in the Council's sustainability
strategy.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press
release contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which involve risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide current
expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and
include any statement that does not directly relate to a historical
or current fact. The words "believe," "expect," "will,"
"anticipate," "plan," "estimate," "target," "project" and similar
expressions, among others, generally identify "forward-looking
statements," which speak only as of the date such statements were
made. These forward-looking statements may address, among other
things, the outcome or resolution of any pending or future
environmental liabilities, the commencement, outcome or resolution
of any regulatory inquiry, investigation or proceeding, the
initiation, outcome or settlement of any litigation, changes in
environmental regulations in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that
affect demand for or adoption of our products, anticipated future
operating and financial performance for our segments individually
and our company as a whole, business plans, prospects, targets,
goals and commitments, capital investments and projects and target
capital expenditures, plans for dividends or share repurchases,
sufficiency or longevity of intellectual property protection, cost
reductions or savings targets, plans to increase profitability and
growth, our ability to make acquisitions, integrate acquired
businesses or assets into our operations, and achieve anticipated
synergies or cost savings, all of which are subject to substantial
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and
expectations of future events that may not be accurate or realized.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance.
Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties
that are beyond Chemours' control. In addition, the current
COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the national and
global economy and commodity and financial markets, which has had
and we expect will continue to have a negative impact on our
financial results. The full extent and impact of the pandemic is
unknown and to date has included extreme volatility in financial
and commodity markets, a significant slowdown in economic activity,
and increased predictions of a global recession. The public and
private sector response has led to significant restrictions on
travel, temporary business closures, quarantines, stock market
volatility, and a general reduction in consumer and commercial
activity globally. Matters outside our control have affected our
business and operations and may or may continue to limit travel of
employees to our business units domestically and internationally,
adversely affect the health and welfare of our personnel,
significantly reduce the demand for our products, hinder our
ability to provide goods and services to customers, cause
disruptions in our supply chains, adversely affect our business
partners or cause other unpredictable events. Additionally, there
may be other risks and uncertainties that Chemours is unable to
identify at this time or that Chemours does not currently expect to
have a material impact on its business. Factors that could cause or
contribute to these differences include the risks, uncertainties
and other factors discussed in our filings with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, including in our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2021 and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2020. Chemours
assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking
statement for any reason, except as required by law.
