The International Council of Chemical Associations
(ICCA) is the world-wide voice of the chemical industry, representing chemical manufacturers
and producers all over the world. It accounts for more than
75 per cent of chemical manufacturing
operations with a production exceeding USD 1,6 trillion annually. Almost 30 percent of this production
is traded internationally. ICCA promotes and co-ordinates Responsible Care and other voluntary
chemical industry initiatives.
ICCA has a central role in the exchange of information within the international industry, and
in the development of position statements on matters of policy. It is also the main channel of
communication between the industry and various international organizations that are concerned
with health, environment and trade-related issues, including the United Nations Environment Programme
(UNEP), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation &
Development (OECD).The ICCA Secretariat
is currently held by the American Chemistry
Council (ACC). |
