The future of health... Today, innovation is about much more than new products. It is about reinventing business processes and building entirely new markets that meet untapped customer needs. |
New substances and applications are brought to the market at an accelerated pace and innovative technologies, changing lifestyles, work and life patterns can potentially have new impacts on the environment and human health.
...is the health of our business
The role of the chemical industry is to address societal concerns and take responsibility in understanding the impacts of its products and processes. To that end, the chemical industry continuously aims to:
The industry actively supports the ongoing debate on health and the environment at the WHO and EU level.
| Environment & Health is everybody's business |
Society's reliance on chemicals has raised questions about whether there are long-term health effects from the usage of everyday consumer chemical products. The chemical industry is forward looking and works towards achieving a future with sustainable products that will continue to benefit future generations of users in a responsible manner.
Quality scientific research has therefore always been at the basis of any substance or product development, not only in view of developing something fit for its purpose but also in view of eliminating any possible undesired consequence.
The chemical industry keeps encouraging more exploration of current and emerging issues, through its research programme – the Long-Range Research Initiative (LRI).
Continuously striving for improvement in all aspects of health, safety and environmental performance is a firm industry-wide commitment. As part of the Responsible Care Global Charter , the Global Product Strategy (GPS) aims to ensure that both the value and benefits of chemistry are provided to society, whilst protecting safety, health and the environment.
