Responsible Care

| Core Principles |
|
|
Responsible Care has evolved as a global initiative over more than two decades. As a result, there are differing requirements within participating national associations depending on factors such as length of involvement in the initiative, business and cultural differences, performance standards and national legislation. |
The Responsible Care Global Charter 2006 establishes a set of global Core Principles, commitments and processes, while preserving implementation flexibility to account for the distinctive aspects of national laws and cultures and differing business needs within the 52 implementing nations.
| Guiding Principles & Fundamental Features |
Each national chemical association establishes and manages its own national Responsible Care programme based on a set of eight common Fundamental Features, one of which requires the association to establish and implement a set of Guiding Principles for member companies to sign.
The 8 Fundamental Features:
• Establish and implement a set of Guiding Principles that member companies sign.
• Adopt a title and logo that are consistent with Responsible Care.
• Implement management practices through a series of systems, codes, policies or guidance documents to assist companies to achieve better performance.
• Develop a set of performance indicators against which improvements can be measured.
• Communicate with interested parties inside and outside the membership.
• Share best practices through information networks.
• Encourage all association member companies to commit to and participate in Responsible Care.
• Introduce and apply systematic procedures to verify the implementation of the measurable elements of Responsible Care by member companies.
