Environmental advocacy occurs on many different levels from individual action to corporate policy. The Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) program hosted by Beyond Benign emphasizes advocacy at the departmental level. GCC is a consortium program that aims to unite the green chemistry community around shared goals and a common vision to: expand the community of green chemistry practitioners, grow departmental resources for adopting green chemistry, improve connections to industry and job opportunities in green chemistry, and affect systemic change in chemistry education. The signers also are catalytic in broadening participation of other institutions. The GCC program launched in 2013 with 13 signers and has since grown to include 50 signers from 18 U.S. states, 2 Canadian institutions, and 1 institution in Columbia.
