Finding the Path to a Sustainable Future in the Chemical Industry through the Global Responsible Care Programme

Synopsis

Established in the 1980s, the primary goal of the Global Responsible Care Programme was to improve health, safety, security, and environmental performance across the chemical sector. Initially focusing on areas such as risk management and product safety, new developments to the scope of Responsible Care now incorporate responsible material sourcing, communication of sustainability metrics, as well social responsibility. The programme’s KPIs measure essential factors like health and safety performance, as well as introducing member companies to new sustainability initiatives and legislation. This talk covers new developments to the CBA’s Responsible Care Programme, outlining how embracing the Eight Guiding Principles of Responsible Care can contribute to a more sustainable and responsible future in the chemical supply chain industry.
