Membership Guidelines

Change Chemistry's (formerly GC3) mission and goals are to accelerate the development and commercialization of innovative green and sustainable chemistry solutions. These efforts focus on specific functions, chemicals or classes identified as priorities for innovation and substitution. Change Chemistry seeks input from its members, scientists, government authorities, and other industry experts to develop its priorities for innovation and commercialization. Change Chemistry Members recognize that the development and commercialization of new, innovative chemistry solutions can result in replacement of or improvement on existing chemistry. Members acknowledge that our work disrupts the market to make positive change happen. 

Change Chemistry members follow these guidelines and policies from the Code of Conduct.
