Responsible Care
What is Responsible Care?
Responsible Care is an ethic for the safe and environmentally sound management of chemicals in
general from the very early manufacturing stages all the way to market.
Over 40 countries around the world have adopted similar initiatives.
By choosing to implement Responsible Care, CEOs of chemical companies
make a commitment to adopt the ethic of Responsible Care in the way they
do business. ACC membership requires members to:
Commit to the guiding principles of Responsible Care
Develop and implement a formal Responsible Care Management System to
manage environmental, health, safety, and security
And have an independent third party audit and certify that the
management system conforms to the ACC requirements
