Introduction

Representatives from GC3 member companies have expressed an urgent need for education of their employees and supply chains in various aspects of green chemistry. In response, the GC3 Education Group organized a series of webinars with expert speakers and developed this into an online introductory green chemistry curriculum. This curriculum could constitute a two-day in-person training. The training is comprised of webinars, ranging from introductory talks to more advanced lessons in specific tools and applications of green chemistry, as well as supplemental reading materials to expand upon the presentations. The result is a free training resource that we hope will provide a useful foundation for any business audience, such as purchasers trying to understand new corporate sustainability initiatives, technical assistance providers, formulators who need a grounding in toxicology, or even students seeking careers in green chemistry.
