✦ Synopsis
Responsible Care is perhaps the best known voluntary agreement programme world-wide. It is an initiative of the chemical industry. Under it, participating companies publicly commit themselves to seek continuous improvement in their performance in all aspects of safety, health, protection of the environment, product safety, distribution, emergency response and relations with the public. Under the initiative, company commitments are generally made by Chief Executive Of®cers (CEOs), who then are responsible for ensuring actions by their company under the initiative, and for reporting back to on progress to the national and/or regional chemical industry association running Responsible Care programmes.
