ACC adopts first six sustainability metrics
Jun 27, 2019
The American Chemical Council (ACC) recently adopted its first six sustainability metrics at the groups annual meeting earlier this month. Intended to capture and quantify the industry progress on sustainability, the metrics include:
-community engagement and empowerment,
-greenhouse gas impact,
-air quality,
-energy efficiency and energy diversity,
-diversity and inclusion; and
-responsible management of hazardous waste.
These metrics are the foundation of the chemistry industry’s contributions to advancing global sustainability. The group plans to adopt a second set of metrics at its fall meeting.
