Euro Chlor 20 years of sustainability focus

During 2020, Euro Chlor released its ‘Mid-Century Strategy for a Sustainable Chlor-Alkali Industry’ (MCS) highlighting a vision for the sector in 2050 providing a safe, competitive and green industry supporting a climate-neutral Europe. The MCS includes Euro Chlor’s third 10-year Sustainability Programme (2021-2030). The first sustainability programme launched in 2001 measured data on environmental protection, social added-value, and economic viability. Its first substantive sustainability targets were published in 2004: a first in the European chemical sector. The programmes show not only the sector’s collective commitment to sustainable development, but also an ability to lead and deliver major improvements, which can contribute to achieving the UN SDGs.
