A Committed and Caring Team

CREATING AN INSPIRED, INNOVATIVE AND INCLUSIVE WORKPLACE

Meeting our commitment to responsible chemistry depends on our ability to create a vibrant workplace culture. To do so, we must attract and retain the best and brightest minds who push our business and industry forward. From the frontline to the back office, we strive to make Chemours a company where all employees can reach their full potential and understand that their work makes a meaningful difference.

Our 2022 Empowered Employees Highlights

Certified by Great Place to Work® in 10 countries that represent almost 90% of our global workforce
Continued commitment to developing diverse talent as demonstrated by promotions of women to several senior-level positions including general counsel and many executive-level positions below the C-Suite
Continued commitment to open and transparent engagement in our Rewards and Benefits programs and introduced additional U.S. benefits offerings with a focus on employee choice and affordable offerings
Re-opened offices and plants and continued our excellent safety and health track record as COVID-19 transitioned from a pandemic to an endemic phase, supporting employees to make their own choice regarding vaccination and masking

Nurturing Excellence and Diversity

The future of Chemours depends on a talented workforce that is representative of the diversity of the communities in which we operate. The combination of excellence and diversity is essential to continuing our strong track record of uncovering and delivering the innovative solutions society needs.

To recruit top talent and broaden our local workforce pipeline, we virtually attend fairs at various universities, including events at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Meanwhile, our manufacturing sites partner with local trade schools and community colleges to create apprenticeship opportunities and develop degree programs that teach students the unique skills needed for a career in operations. We also execute a Gender Diversity Playbook, which provides an annual audit checklist, recommendations, and resource estimates.

We are focused on building a more ethnically diverse U.S. workforce and have a 2030 goal to fill 30% of all U.S. positions with ethnically diverse employees. We also are committed to fully achieving our gender goal of filling 50% of all positions globally, although we recognize there are numerous industry challenges to overcome.

Our employee resource groups (ERGs) are integral to fostering inclusion and advancing these commitments. These groups provide a place for employees to share experiences and help Chemours progress toward a more diverse and inclusive workforce.

Employee Resource Groups

Activating our ERGs

Our ERGs continued to impact our Chemours community throughout 2022. Highlights of their activities include:

Chemours Women’s Network grew to 22 sites in nine countries and partnered with Scholarship America to award three Future of Chemistry for Scholarships totaling $30,000.
Chemours Latin American Resource Organization (CLARO) launched a Future of Chemistry Scholarship for college students of Hispanic or Latin American ethnicity studying fields of STEM applicable to Chemours.
Chemours Asian Group sponsored a workshop with CLARO on building confidence and bringing your authentic self to work and co-sponsored an interactive hybrid workshop on the topics of overcoming imposter syndrome and building confidence with public speaking to support employees’ personal and professional development.
The Early Career Network grew its membership to more than 200 members, added chapters at six sites and re-initiated quarterly lunch and learns to allow young professionals at various sites to network.
The Chemours Black Employee Network held a virtual event in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, attended by nearly 900 employees that featured a guest speaker and musical performances.
The Chemours Pride Network hosted external speakers to present on topics ranging from LGBTQ-youth anti-bullying to LGBTQ history topics for Spirit Day.
The Veteran’s Network volunteered to unpack, prepare, and lay 30,000 wreaths at Veteran gravesites for the holidays.

Case Studies

Building a Great Place to Work®

We use the Great Place to Work® survey methodology globally to gauge the level of employee engagement across Chemours. This platform helps us assess the Chemours employee experience to drive an improved workplace environment for all. We administered this survey in mid-2022 and were pleased with a 72% employee response rate. Our global average positivity rate increased from 69 to 73%, which indicated an answer of 4 (often true) or 5 (almost always true) on a 1-to-5 scale. In 2022, 10 of our countries were certified as a Great Place to Work®, including Belgium, Brazil, China, India, Japan, Mexico, Spain, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States. Nearly 90% of our employees work in one of these countries.

Our CRC Champions

We encourage all our employees around the globe to be sustainability stewards. Across Chemours, we have over 200 employees who have volunteered to be CRC champions regardless of their title, job responsibility, or location. As a CRC champion, these employees have access to a list of “gig” assignments that are related to our CRC goals and that we update regularly. We also sponsor CRC Day with events across the globe dedicated to advancing our goals. In 2022, this day resulted in more than 1,800 hours of service by hundreds of employees in 15 countries.

Listening and Acting

In 2022, we once again conducted listening sessions with our U.S.-based employees to gather their feedback and ideas on our pay practices and benefits plans. As we reflected on the feedback, we made the decision not to pass along any of the medical cost increase to our employees. This was significant investment given that Chemours experienced medical inflation that was higher than the market norm. Additionally, we began providing support for other joint and back pain or injuries, offered more dental plan flexibility and introduced a travel benefit for individuals who need to travel more than 100 miles from their home to secure in-network medical care that is not available to them in their location.
