3 What is Responsible Care 1. Chemical industry s unique Global Initiative that drives continuous improvement in health, safety, security and environmental (HSSE) performance. 2. Transparent communication with interested parties (i.e. stakeholders) about its activities to improve perception and respond to concerns of the industry. 3. Embraces the development and application of sustainable chemistry, helping our industry contribute to sustainable development while allowing us to meet the world s growing need for essential chemicals and the products those chemicals make possible. 4. First developed in Canada by the Canadian Chemical Producers Association in International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) provides oversight for the program globally. 6. Today it is implemented by chemical federations and their member companies in 53 nations. 7. Not a one-time activity. It will evolve over time to meet the changing expectations of the industry and its stakeholders. No end point! 3

9 Community Awareness and Emergency Response Goal is to assure emergency preparedness and to foster community right-to-know through openness and community dialogue. Interested Party Person or group, inside or outside the workplace, concerned with or affected by the HSSE performance Community outreach program CAER Stakeholders Person or persons impacted or potentially impacted by the organization s operations.

11 Health and Safety 1. Goal is to protect and promote the health and safety of people working at or visiting member company work sites. 2. Code provides a multidisciplinary means to: Health and safety management; Identify and assess hazards; Prevent unsafe acts and conditions; Maintain and improve employee health and safety; Foster communication on health and safety issues. 11

12 Environment Protection 1. Code is designed to achieve ongoing reductions in the amount of all contaminants and pollutants released to the air, water, and land from member company facilities. 2. Code is also designed to achieve ongoing reductions in the amount of wastes generated at facilities by: i. Establishing long-term, substantial downward trend in the amount of wastes generated and contaminants and pollutants released. ii. Quantitative reduction goals to be established for giving priority to those pollutants, contaminants and wastes of highest health and environmental concern. 3. Code also includes practices that address the broader waste management issues beyond source reduction and other waste and release reduction efforts. 12

13 Process Safety 1. Code is designed to prevent fires, explosions and accidental chemical releases. 2. Code comprises a series of management practices that reflect this goal. 3. Practices are based on the principle that facilities will be safe if they are designed according to sound engineering practices, built, operated and maintained properly and periodically reviewed for conformance. 4. Code is divided into the following four elements: Management leadership, Technology, Facilities and Personnel. 5. Collectively, the Practices encompass process safety from the design stage through operation, maintenance and training. 6. The scope of this Code includes manufacturing, processing, handling and on-site storage of chemicals. 13

14 Distribution Purpose is to reduce the risk of harm posed by the distribution of chemicals (including waste) to the general public (carrier, distributor, contractor, chemical industry employees and to the environment). Code encompasses risk management, compliance review and training, carrier safety, safe handling and storage as well as emergency preparedness. Code applies to all modes of transportation (road, rail, sea, air and pipeline). Distribution activities include storage, handling, transfer and repacking while chemicals are in transit between member companies and their suppliers / customers. Code encourages the development of new technologies and methods to improve chemical distribution safety 14

15 Product Stewardship 1. Purpose is to make health, safety and environmental protection an integral part of : i. Designing, ii. Manufacturing, iii. Marketing, iv. Distribution, v. Using, vi. Recycling / disposal of our products. 2. Code provides guidance as well as a means to measure continuous improvement in the practice of product stewardship. 3. Code covers all stages of a product's life cycle. 4. Code recognizes that each company must exercise independent judgment and discretion to successfully apply the Code to its products, customers and business. 15

16 Product Stewardship Management of Health, Safety and the Environmental aspects of a Product throughout the product s life cycle. Customers Products Innovation Disposal / Recycling Sales / Marketing Distribution Working with stakeholders (e.g. suppliers, customers, distributors etc.) to foster proper use and handling of chemical products. Manufacturing 16

17 Security 1. Purpose is to help protect people, property, products, processes, information and information systems by enhancing security, including security against potential terrorist attack, throughout the chemical industry value chain. 2. The chemical industry value chain encompasses company activities associated with the design, procurement, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, transportation, customer support, use, recycle and disposal of our products. 3. Code is designed to help companies achieve continuous improvement in security performance using a risk-based approach to identify, assess and address: i. Vulnerabilities, ii. Prevent or mitigate incidents, iii. Enhance training and response capabilities, and iv. Maintain and improve relationships with key stakeholders 17
