Climate Security ACC members place great importance on planning and preparedness for hurricanes.
Sustainability Starts with Chemistry
ACC’s 2024 Sustainability Report highlights how ACC member companies are taking action to combat climate change, improve water and air quality, innovate in sustainable chemistry products, and advance circularity in products and operations.
Safety and Sustainability The chemistry industry advances global safety and sustainability by improving the health, safety, and environmental performance of our products and operations through innovation, collaboration, and technology.
American Success Depends on American ChemistryChemistry drives American innovation and competitiveness. It powers the technologies Americans rely on—from computer chips and medicines to housing, infrastructure, and energy.
Unfortunately, poorly designed regulations and lack of coordination between the Biden Administration and federal agencies put these benefits at risk.

Rail Safety
ACC supports policies and programs that use a data-driven approach and multiple safety measures to improve the safe transportation of chemicals by rail.
Chemicals must be transported because the country depends on them. Some chemicals classified as hazardous materials are essential for food production, water and food supply security, life-saving medicines and equipment, energy production, and many other aspects of modern life.
Less than 1% of all train accidents result in a hazardous material release.
