Responsible Care is the chemical industry’s unique “ethic”, enabling the global chemical industry to continuously improve its health, safety and environmental performance.
Given that chemical products and technologies are used in a wide array of energy-saving and renewable energy applications, the chemical industry offers significant potential to help society achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions.
Through the Global Product Strategy (GPS) ICCA is committed to the safe management of chemicals during their entire life cycle. To promote transparency the GPS web based search portal offers free, public access to relevant chemical safety information for interested stakeholders.
The major benefit of ICCA’s High Production Volume Chemicals program is that it delivers globally-harmonized, internationally-agreed data sets and initial hazard assessments that are recognized under national and regional programs.
The global goals of the chemical industry’s Long-range Research Initiative are to increase the knowledge of the potential impacts that chemicals may have on the health of humans, wildlife and the environment.
“We will expand crucial programs such as Responsible Care® and the Global Product Strategy and be an instrument of action on an international basis. We look forward to extending our advocacy in emerging economies including China, India and Africa.”
ICCA President, Andrew Liveris
