A sustainable industry
In the past the chlorine chemistry was often regarded as
unsustainable, because of problems that arose with certain chlorine
derivatives, now no longer produced or emissions, now considerably
reduced.
The 21st century needs
a sustainable chlorine industry. Already, our first sustainability
programme has delivered major improvements across a broad range of
our key impacts, and it has focused companies throughout the sector
on the areas where further improvements can most beneficially be
made.
Our first sustainability programme, announced in 2001,
dedicated to providing scientific data that are the essential basis
for systematic risk assessment and focused risk management. It has
not only shown the industry's collective commitment to sustainable
development. It has shown the ability to lead and deliver major
improvements, bringing all in the industry towards the standards of
the best.
The route towards further improving this balance to create
a yet more sustainable chlorine industry is charted, and the second
stage of the journey has begun.
We look forward to reporting, over the next 10 years time,
how the chlorine industry has continued to deliver more for
society, from less.
