Social Responsibility

AT AGC CHEMICALS AMERICAS, we actively work to create a corporate culture of sustainability and community responsibility. This includes programs and research that protect the safety of the environment and our employees, customers and community. In other activities, AGC employees donate time and talent to support our neighbors and local area.

Sustainability is at the heart of our mission. We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact while continuing to deliver high-performance solutions in a rapidly evolving world. With the release of our inaugural Sustainability Report, we reaffirm our dedication to product stewardship, environmental responsibility, and continuous improvement across our operations.

Chemistry for a Blue Planet

As part of this global program of AGC Inc., we are always working to reduce environmental impact by supplying chemicals needed to make sustainable products and by developing and continually improving processes that save energy and prevent environmental pollution.

Downingtown Area School District STEM Academy

Since 2010, students have spent a day at our headquarters to learn about the company and perform hands-on activities in the labs with our professional chemists. Our employees visit the classrooms to provide information to chemistry students about working in the field. Students also can fulfill the career exploration portion of their curriculum by shadowing our scientists at work. We also donate to scholarship funds and sponsor fundraising golf outings.
