Mission

Mission of the Chlorine Institute
The Chlorine Institute exists to support the chlor-alkali industry and serve the public by fostering continuous improvements to safety and the protection of human health and the environment connected with the production, distribution and use of chlorine, sodium and potassium hydroxides, and sodium hypochlorite; and the distribution and use of hydrogen chloride. This support extends to giving continued attention to the security of chlorine handling operations.

The Institute strives to meet these obligations by maintaining a scientific and technical organization that fully meets the needs and expectations of its members and the public.

The Institute works with government agencies, its members, and other stakeholders to encourage the use of credible science and proven technology in the development of voluntary actions and regulations to enhance safety and security in operations involving its Mission chemicals.

The Institute believes that its mission chemicals are essential to society and can be produced and used safely.

The Chlorine Institute accomplishes its mission by:

1. Improving the safety, human health and environmental protection performance of chlor-alkali producers, packagers, distributors, and users.
2. Fostering the development of regulations that support the achievement of continuous improvement and voluntary mechanisms that preclude the need for new government regulations.
3. Positioning the Institute as an authoritative and credible source of technical and safety related information and emergency response procedures to prevent and mitigate the release of chlorine and other mission chemicals.
