Our Sustainability Strategy
At ChemDesign, we have the responsibility to take action where science and expertise can make for a better world. That is why we have integrated a sustainability initiative across our company. We have identified four focus areas where we believe we can make the biggest difference:
ChemDesign is committed to doing no harm to the environment and reducing our impact on the world around us. Our key focus is to reduce emissions, recycle or reuse materials, and consume less energy in our daily operations.
Employee health and wellness is our top priority. ChemDesign invests significantly in training and employee development to continuously enhance our knowledge and ensure safe chemical practices. Our safety program is built on an active, continuous improvement program, a strong near-miss reporting culture, and investments in employee well-being beyond the workplace. We are proud of our workforce and their commitment to maintaining a safe working environment at ChemDesign.
ChemDesign is a passionate supporter of our community. Part of our sustainability strategy involves supporting STEM programs, youth programs, food pantries, and community wellness programs. We actively volunteer with the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations within our community. Learn More.
