In 2021, the ASC Board of Directors established the ASC Sustainability Initiative to advance and support sustainability efforts on behalf of members and the industry. 

Our four strategic objectives are to

  • Collect member and industry insights, informing initial priority areas for sustainability work.

  • Source member case studies on sustainability initiatives to promote industry wins and highlight best practices.

  • Map sustainability value chain for select markets to communicate the value of sustainability.

  • Develop member resources to expand the footprint and impact of sustainability focused education.

ASC defines adhesive and sealant sustainability as follows:

"For the adhesives and sealants industry, sustainability is met by using materials and manufacturing processes, developing products, and providing solutions with environmental benefit."

The ASC Sustainability Initiative identifies three progress areas of focus:
  • Advancing the circular economy
  • Reducing environmental impact in operations and supply chain
  • Making a positive impact for our employees and communities
