At Chemours, we strive
to make chemistry as
responsible as it is essential.
Chemours is a different kind of chemistry company, driven by our purpose to create a better world throughthe power of our chemistry. Whether it’s products to enable the production of green hydrogen, semiconductor
manufacturing, electric vehicle technologies or lower global warming thermal solutions, Chemours’ chemistries
are enabling the new green economy. We’re also playing our part to deliver Europe’s net-zero future.

The Essential
Nature of OurChemistry
Chemours’ chemistry is avital part of our everyday
lives, enabling virtually
everything people touch,including many of theproducts we use every
single day.
The world needs our chemistry,so we are hard at work deliveringsolutions that are better,safer, more reliable,
and sustainable.

Vital to Modern Living

Necessary for the Green Economy

Best Solution and Performance

From keeping food cold andimproving reliability of medical
equipment to fluoropolymer
and fluorinated gas, our products
are the best solution for hundredsof important applications inour daily lives.

We enable technologies such as electricvehicles, clean energy, coatings that create
durable and advanced infrastructure, andmore energy-efficient cooling. For example,Nafion™ membranes are key to producing
clean hydrogen, and Opteon™ low global
warming potential solutions driveenergy efficiency.

Quality, reliability, safety, andsustainability: many of our products
possess a highly unique combinationof properties to deliver unmatchedlevels of performance.

Minimal Environmental Impact

Economic Impact

Meeting the world’s growing demandfor our chemicals requires us to growwhile reducing our own environmental
impact. That starts by operating ourplant sites in a manner that reduces
emissions, conserves water, enhances
biodiversity, and minimizes anddisposes of waste properly.

Our chemistry contributes to positive
economic growth and expansion.
It touches 50% of the European
Union’s (EU) €16 trillion economy
and is necessary chemistry for theEU’s green economy vision.

Our 2030 Goals
Inspired by our vision. Built upon our values. Achieved by our workforce.
As we progress in each of Chemours’ sustainability pillars, our goals, which align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), keep us focusedand accountable. We are making important strides, including being more than halfway to achieving our 2030 absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air andwater fluorinated organic chemical (FOC) process emissions goals. By 2050, we plan to achieve net-zero operations.

4Dordrecht, The Netherlands

What We Make inDordrecht Makes a
Difference Everywhere
Founded in 1959, Dordrecht Works is
our main production facility in Europe forpolymers and elastomers.
These high-quality materials, marketed under the brand names Teflon™
and Viton™, are vital to medical equipment, 5G data transmission, andthe aerospace and automotive industries. The facility also supplies
Opteon™, a refrigerant with low global warming potential. In short, ourproducts are essential for society, the energy transition, and the local
and global economy.

Making Strides to Reduce Our Environmental Impact
Driving Emissions Reductions
Since 2014, we’ve used steam generated by an adjacent waste incineration company topower operations.
❱ Steam supply currently represents more than 70% of power used in Dordrecht.
❱ That’s equal to 400 kilotons of steam per year.
❱ This saves 63,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
We’ve invested €75 million toward the goal of reducing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances(PFAS) emissions by more than 99% by 2030 or earlier if possible, compared with 2017 levels.
We already reduced hexaflouropropylene oxide-dimer acid (HFPO-DA) emissions by greater then
99% and are working on projects to address overall FOC process emissions. In 2023, equipment
will be installed to help us achieve an overall reduction of 80% or greater of all FOC emissions,and we are currently working to identify additional technologies that will help us achieve furtherreductions to achieve our goal.
Saving Energy
Starting in 2020, Dordrecht Works has leveraged
renewable energy solutions. In 2022, we identified
and implemented 12 energy-reduction initiatives,
reducing energy intensity by almost 3% in one year.

Our commitments can be seen in our actions. Since 2018, we have reducedsite emissions significantly, achieving a reduction in emissions of HFPO-DA—a GenX-technology processing aid—by more than 99%. Manufacturing
our essential products responsibly is a prerequisite for being successful.
Further reducing our environmental footprint is on my mind every day.
There is not a single day that we do not work on this at Dordrecht Works.”

5Villers-Saint-Paul, France

Contributing toEuropean andGlobal Efforts toEnable the Clean
Energy Transition
Both France and Europe attacha key role to green hydrogen inachieving the European Green
Deal’s objectives and reaching
net zero in the EU by 2050.
That is why in 2023 Chemours announced a
US$200 million investment in our Villers-Saint-Paulfacility to increase production capacity and advancetechnology for our hydrogen energy-enabling Nafion™
ion exchange materials.

Solving Some of the World’s Biggest Challenges, Sustainably
Investing in the Future
Through our US$200 million
investment, we support market demandfor clean hydrogen generation using
water electrolyzers, energy storage inflow batteries, and hydrogen conversion
to power fuel cell vehicles.
Enabling Critical Products
Our Villers-Saint-Paul facility is central to the development of innovativeand efficient solutions, like Capstone™ repellents and surfactants which are
critical to people’s everyday life and safety in Europe. These products
are used in applications as diverse as architectural coatings, fire safety
products, textiles, leather and windshields.

Boosting the Local Economy
Established in 1917, the 40-hectare facility ispart of an industrial complex that now employs
60 people. Our new investment will generate
approximately 80 new full-time jobs.

Manufacturing Responsibly
Among our efforts to conduct our operations sustainably
and responsibly: All diesel forklifts have been converted
to electric. Fire pump tests are conducted withoutwater consumption, thereby reducing the amount of fuelconsumed. Our two main wastes (concentrated wastewaterand waste solvant) are not landfilled but incinerated atlicensed, highly-regulated industrial incinerators to break
down the FOC compounds into simple compounds that are
not persistent. Additionally, we’ve installed carbon filtrationon our wastewater emissions stream and decreased FOC
compounds discharge by 92%.

We have the ambition and thetechnology to help Europe reachand surpass its domestically
produced hydrogen goal. Itmakes me feel proud to see
clear and concrete commitment
from the whole company tobuilding the future of green
energy in France and in Europe.”
