Abstract:

Chemical practitioners should promote a positive perception and public understanding and appreciation of chemistry. This is done through research, innovation, teamwork, collaboration, community outreach, and high ethical standards. Chemistry professionals should act as role models, mentors, and advocates of the safe and secure application of chemistry to benefit humankind and preserve the environment for future generations. They should instill and encourage curiosity and innovation early and often, and recognize and award achievements where appropriate. Finally, chemistry professionals should provide professional inputs and opinions to government and other decision makers regarding industrial, environmental, and other issues.
