Chemours Marks Women’s History Month Through Employee Engagement and Community Impact

Published: April 6, 2026

Throughout March, the Chemours Women’s Network (CWN) led initiatives that engaged employees across the globe in activities designed to elevate diverse perspectives, strengthen connections, and support a more inclusive workplace and community.

Employees were encouraged to participate in learning opportunities, engagement activities, and local events that highlighted the contributions of women across science, manufacturing, sustainability, and community leadership, while reinforcing the role inclusion plays in innovation and performance.

A central element of the month was an employee Spotlight Series, which featured team members sharing perspectives on leadership, career development, mentorship, and inclusion. Featuring a range of roles, career stages, and regions, the series illustrated how diverse experiences and perspectives contribute to innovation and strengthen Chemours’ workforce. Employees reflected on how inclusion, mentorship, and allyship have shaped their growth and experiences at Chemours:

“I’m most motivated to collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences… it not only strengthens our solutions but also challenges me to grow every day.”

Laura Bartholomew, Thermal & Specialized Solutions Global Sustainability Leader

“Working in a technical job where accuracy is so important, I found myself hesitating to make decisions, especially if I didn’t have all the information. My mentor’s advice helped me learn that true growth comes from stepping out of your comfort zone, and that can mean making decisions with incomplete information.”

Ruthie Bauer, Manufacturing Technology Engineer

“Real growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. If a new role feels entirely familiar from day one, it may not be stretching you enough.”

Cheyenne Ysewijn, CWN Belgium Chapter Leader & Sales Effectiveness Analyst

“I’m the only male member of the Chemours Women’s Network [India Chapter], and the fact that this feels completely normal, welcomed, and even appreciated says a lot about how genuinely inclusive our culture is.”

Pranjal Garg, SAP Security & GRC Lead

CWN chapters worldwide also participated in locally driven initiatives that fostered connection, well-being, and gratitude. In Spain, employees from the Chemours Asturias office participated in a volunteer initiative at Residencia El Carmen, an elderly care home in Gijón where they engaged with residents, sharing stories and honoring the women who have paved the way for future generations. In Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, CWN chapters hosted a virtual yoga session to promote mindfulness and well-being in observance of International Women’s Day. Meanwhile, in Belgium, employees celebrated World Compliment Day alongside International Women’s Day by collecting heartfelt messages for women within the organization, fostering a culture of appreciation and belonging. Together, these locally driven initiatives reflected how CWN chapters bring Chemours’ commitment to inclusion and belonging to life across regions and cultures.

While Women’s History Month provides a moment to reflect and connect, these initiatives underscore how embedding respect, inclusion, and equity into an organization’s culture strengthens teams, expands perspectives, and supports performance.
