A Committed and Caring Team

CREATING 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. Underpinning that objective is building an empowered workforce—one that creates space for and celebrates a broad range of viewpoints, backgrounds, and experiences. By emphasizing workplace excellence and creating a work environment that reflects the local community, we continue to deliver the innovative solutions our society needs.

Nurturing Excellence and Diversity

We foster a rewarding and productive workplace culture by investing in development; prioritizing inclusion, diversity, and equity (ID&E); and living our company values. These actions are part of a long-term strategy to support employees and create an environment of trust in which employees own their career, can be an engaged member of the team, and always do the right thing. In return, employees can trust Chemours to treat them with respect, transparency, and care.

Building on this foundation of trust, we are committed to providing meaningful opportunities that foster both personal and professional growth for individuals at all levels and backgrounds, including:

  • Hiring interns and co-op students into full-time positions after graduation 
  • Moving employees within and across functional and business roles to broaden their experiences 
  • Providing mentoring opportunities to foster personal and professional growth
  • Encouraging all employees to join one or more of our ERGs 
  • Developing employees for new assignments with greater responsibility
  • Investing in leadership through development efforts such as coaching, assessments, and other learning and development programs

Through these investments in our people, we fuel our company’s growth and further Chemours’ ability to advance. By working to actively build and foster an inclusive, diverse, and equitable culture, we create a workplace that will allow each member of our Chemours family to bring their best self to work each day, which in turn bolsters our innovation, enriches the customer experience, and deepens our understanding of the communities we impact.

Building a Great Place to Work®

We use the Great Place to Work® survey methodology globally as our primary tool to measure employee engagement. We administered this survey in mid-2023 and were pleased with a 76% employee response rate, our highest level of participation yet. Our global average of all statements kept its solid position at 73% since 2022. This reflects responses that frequently scored a 4 (often true) or a 5 (almost always true) on a scale ranging from 1 to 5 when asked to what degree the recipient agreed with a statement.  We are proud that in 2023, 15 global regions were certified as a Great Place to Work®, namely Belgium, Brazil, Greater China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, South Korea, Switzerland, Thailand, and the United States. Nearly 92% of our employees work in one of those countries.

Recognizing Each Other

The Chemours recognition program, The Orange Awards, provides a recognition opportunity to celebrate colleagues worldwide for the valuable contributions they bring to the company. The program is a channel to help say thank you to colleagues who display our values and behaviors or who have had a meaningful impact. This program allows all employees, in all locations, to recognize colleagues top-down, bottom-up, peer to peer, and across departments, businesses, and locations. Over 95% of our population utilized the recognition program in 2023 and gave over 102,000 awards.

Listening and Acting

In 2023, we once again conducted listening sessions with our U.S.-based employees to gather their feedback and ideas on our pay practices and benefits offerings. As we reflected on the feedback, we made three important decisions regarding our 2023 plans. First, Chemours absorbed a significant portion of medical and prescription drug cost inflation. Secondly, we agreed to offer a weight management concierge service to our employees. This expands on the chronic condition care we have previously made available to our employees. Finally, we introduced a virtual primary care physician alternative, which guarantees availability of a new patient visit in every county in all 50 states within 5 business days as a new patient and then 1-2 days for future visits.

Partnering for Progress

Celebrating the Impact of Our Employee Resource Groups

Partnerships are equally as important inside Chemours as outside the Company. Our ERGs are a great example of how individuals with a common touchpoint come together throughout the year to support each other professionally and personally as well as to positively impact local communities. Here are a few examples of how our ERGs made an impact in 2023.

  • Chemours Latin American Resource Organization (CLARO) executed a Future of Chemistry scholarship program for college students of Hispanic or Latin American ethnicity studying fields of STEM applicable to Chemours.
  • Chemours Asian Group (CAG) co-sponsored “Why Gender Equality Is Good for Everyone” call with CLARO and CWN, featuring author and speaker, Kate Mangino.
  • Chemours Black Employee Network (CBEN) held a virtual event in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, attended by nearly 300 employees virtually and in person.
  • Chemours Native American Employee Network (CNAEN) launched as our eighth ERG, with a mission is to contribute to a diverse workplace through providing professional and personal development of Native American employees and raising awareness of our culture and perspectives through networking and community outreach.
