RSC Sustainability strategy
Summary of contents
Our sustainability strategy sets out our understanding of the role of chemistry in sustainability and our plans to drive impact towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It has been developed through iterative engagement with key members of our community across governance, membership, editorial boards and employees about sustainability, chemistry and the RSC. We brought in insights from recent programmes in skills and diversity, publishing trends and sustainable labs, as well as Future of the Chemical Sciences, Science Horizons and Digital Futures. We also factored in the changing global environment and sustainability priorities for chemistry-using industries, research and development funders and organisations similar to our own.
The strategy outlines the three impact horizons across which we will drive sustainability impact as an organisation, as well as the five interconnected roles we play in driving these impacts through our products, services and campaigns for our community.
By sharing our strategy, we want to spark conversations, connect with partners and accelerate collective efforts to maximise the contributions of the global chemistry community to a sustainable future.
