Chemours CEO: We’re committed to sustainability. Here’s how

Mark Vergnano is president and CEO of the Chemours Co., headquartered in Wilmington.  This much is clear: the demands of our world and its burgeoning population are not going away. And with each passing year, they become more pressing, more urgent, and it’s up to all of us to face those expectations head-on. No other response will do. When Chemours chose to keep its headquarters in Wilmington, we made the decision for the area’s highly educated workforce, close proximity to customers, and favorable changes to the state’s corporate tax structure. Most importantly, however, we made the decision for the state’s leadership in sustainability.
