Sustainability

The Euro Chlor sustainability programme is believed to be the first ever within the European chemical industry. Publication of long-term sustainability targets in January 2004 was a major milestone for the European chlor-alkali sector. Producers have steadily worked together through Euro Chlor over the past 20 years to respond to environmental or health concerns and improve public acceptance of chlorine and its derivatives.

Through Euro Chlor, measurable sustainability indicators have been set for 2010. Agreeing these targets was an important step in the industry's strategy to improve performance by addressing the "triple bottom line" of sustainability:

  • Environment
  • Social
  • Economic viability

We will report on progress made annually.
