The ACS Committee for Environmental Improvement (CEI) promotes opportunities that enhance the chemical community's awareness of and response to sustainability challenges. CEI is the focal point for developing recommendations for ACS public policy statements regarding sustainability of the chemical enterprise. The presentation will provide an overview of ACS's science and sustainability positions on topics such as chemical risk assessment, climate change and inherently safer technologies. In addition, the Society offers a variety of online information resources via podcasts, webcasts and various pages on its website and holds a variety of sessions at national meetings for members. CEI also encourages members to participate in developing materials and positions and helping to inform the pubic about chemical risk issues, as well as to practice sustainability individually and within your organizations.
