Sustainability in Sight – May 2024
May 31, 2024
Dear Chemistry Advocates,
We hope you had a great May! It was a busy month here for Team Chemistry, celebrating sustainability and launching helpful reports to advocates of the good work being done in the world of chemistry.
At the ACC Responsible Care® and Sustainability Conference 2024, six companies were honored for their work in advancing sustainability, circularity, and environmental protection.
The “Chemistry and Automobiles” report found that compared to a decade ago, the average value of chemistry in a vehicle had increased by 31%. The increase has driven fuel efficiency by allowing vehicles to become more lightweight.

Can you believe Team Chemistry has brought legislators out on almost 50 tours of facilities so far this year? We’ve brought state legislators, members of Congress, and even Governors out to see the important work folks are doing at sites across the country.
Earlier this month, we brought Idaho Governor Brad Little to BASF in Parma, ID. with Chanel Tewalt, Director of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture.
