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.

In 2025, AGC achieved a EcoVadis Silver rating recognizing its strong performance in environmental stewardship, ethics, labor and human rights, and sustainable procurement. This rating places AGC among the top 15% of companies assessed worldwide and reflects its dedication to transparency, continuous improvement and responsible chemistry.
