Responsible Care CEO Declaration of Support
I will endeavor to ensure that my company will implement Responsible Care® through the national chemical associations in those countries where we conduct our business and so take an active part in strengthening the initiative worldwide and supporting the Responsible Care Global Charter. In doing so we commit to:
- Demonstrate our commitment to sustainable development.
- Continue to seek improvements, and verify our environmental, health and safety performance and report the results.
- Enhance the lifecycle-oriented management of our products and services through Responsible Care worldwide.
- Champion and facilitate the extension of Responsible Care throughout the business value chain.
- Actively support national and global Responsible Care governance processes.
- Address stakeholder expectations about our activities and our products.
- Provide appropriate resources to effectively implement Responsible Care.
Through our commitment to Responsible Care my company seeks to improve the quality of life of the global community.
I support the Responsible Care Global Charter which seeks companies to strengthen Responsible Care worldwide working with national chemical associations. By implementing the Charter, my company will continue to improve its environmental, health and safety performance; advance sustainable development; champion and facilitate the appropriate extension of Responsible Care across the business value chain; and address stakeholder expectations in the continuing development of Responsible Care.
As part of these commitments, my company will work with customers and suppliers to manage its chemical products using a risk-based and life-cycle oriented approach supported by sound scientific information. These commitments include making relevant risk information publicly transparent and cooperating with governments and the public to promote the safe use of chemicals worldwide.
By implementing the Responsible Care Global Charter, my company is playing its part in improving the quality of life of the global community.
John Blachford, President
