in 2016, we extended our responsible care beyond the fence of chemical parks. in june, students and teachers from 9 universities in shanghai visited us at our polymer research and development center. during this event we shared cutting edging material innovations, the dynamics of the chemicals business, and career path opportunities for chemicals professionals. in july, 16 teenage journalists from shanghai discovered the magic of chemistry at our polymer research and development center, where they witnessed real-world examples of how chemistry is everywhere in our daily lives, and inspiring ideas about how chemistry can facilitate a smarter and brighter greener future.
