Community Centered

We aspire to be a neighbor of choice with a reputation for social responsibility. CPChem is active in communities around the world and believes volunteering brings the company tagline to life. We encourage employees to spend two paid workdays every year volunteering for causes that matter to them.

CPChem makes charitable contributions and in-kind investments to improve quality of life, expand access to education opportunities and facilitate growth within its communities. We support civic, cultural, educational, health, human services institutions and more. CPChem believes successful investments and volunteering are those that align with one or more of CPChem’s sustainability focus areas, contribute progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, support customer or industry relationships, engage employees in meaningful community service, and enhance the company’s reputation if possible.

Caring for our Communities

CPChem highly values its relationships with community members. We participate in Community Advisory Panels (CAPs) in the communities where we operate to maintain open lines of communication between our organization and members of the community.

CPChem supports Habitat for Humanity’s mission to provide affordable housing that is safe and economically sustainable. CPChem has supported Habitat for Humanity in locations across the globe.

Project HomeWorks is an intensive home rehabilitation program designed to improve the lives of vulnerable families by transforming homes into more sanitary, safe places to live.
