We believe in the power of your unique voice and are committed to creating a culture where we all can thrive, belong, and make a difference.

Community

Chem-Trend supports their communities through the Freudenberg-backed e2 initiative, which emphasizes “education” and “environment”.

The e2 program encourages everyone in the company to initiate and support charitable projects related to education and environmental protection.

At Chem-Trend, we work together to make social responsibility a priority.

We fully support its ten principles on human rights, labor standards, environment, and anti-corruption. For example, we are deeply committed to Principle 9, which emphasizes reducing inefficiencies and minimizing environmental impact.
