In 2025, suppliers representing 84% of Chemours’ total procurement spend achieved an average 33% improvement in sustainability performance compared with the company’s 2018 baseline. The result surpassed Chemours’ existing responsible procurement objectives. Building on this progress, the company is now working on a new sustainability target that will be introduced in a future reporting period.
Strengthening Scope 3 Through Supplier Collaboration
Chemours continued to enhance its supplier engagement strategy in 2025 by aligning supplier evaluations, carbon-data gathering, and improvement initiatives with spend-based segmentation. This enables the company to prioritize engagement with suppliers that have the greatest potential influence on its overall environmental footprint. Alongside improving data availability, Chemours has increasingly shifted toward direct supplier collaboration, helping partners strengthen transparency and achieve measurable reductions in upstream emissions.
Chemours’ participation in the Together for Sustainability (TfS) Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Exchange has played an important role in advancing this work. TfS is a member-led initiative based on the principles of the UN Global Compact and Responsible Care®. Its objective is to help accelerate the creation of more sustainable and resilient chemical supply chains. Companies participating in TfS, including Chemours, work to improve sustainability not only within their own operations but throughout their supplier networks. The collaboration also provides opportunities for Chemours and other TfS members to engage suppliers in constructive discussions, encourage innovation, and promote continuous improvements in supply-chain sustainability and ESG performance.
Through the TfS PCF Exchange, suppliers provide primary product carbon footprint information based on methodologies consistent with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards and TfS guidance. Primary supplier information now accounts for approximately 33% of Chemours’ non-refrigerant Scope 3 Category 1 emissions footprint. This provides greater transparency and improves the reliability of Chemours’ emissions calculations.
Accurate Category 1 data is an important component of Chemours’ Responsible Procurement roadmap and supports the company’s Scope 3 reduction pathway under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Access to supplier-specific carbon information also enables Chemours to move beyond preliminary screening estimates and incorporate more precise emissions data into procurement strategies and decarbonization planning.
By incorporating PCF data sharing, supplier assessment findings, and corrective-action follow-ups into its Responsible Procurement program, Chemours is helping suppliers go beyond simply measuring and reporting emissions. The approach also helps identify specific opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce carbon output. This collaborative and data-focused model is strengthening supplier capabilities, increasing visibility throughout Chemours’ upstream value chain, and supporting the company’s target of cutting Scope 3 emissions by 25% per metric ton of production by 2030.
Recognizing Suppliers Driving Responsible Progress
Chemours annually recognizes suppliers that make notable contributions to quality, innovation, and sustainability through its Responsible Supplier Awards. The recipients of the 2025 awards were chosen from Chemours’ global supplier network and represent the type of ongoing improvement the company seeks as it works toward a more resilient and sustainable supply chain.
