RESPONSIBLE CARE
Responsible Care庐 is the chemical industry鈥檚 global initiative to drive continuous improvement in health, safety, security and environmental (HSSE) performance. It is both an ethic and a commitment that seeks to build confidence and trust in an industry that is essential to improving the quality of life.
Responsible Care庐 helps the chemical industry to operate safely, profitably and with due care for future generations. It was commended by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as making a significant contribution to sustainable development at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development.
Responsible Care is both an ethic and a commitment that seeks to build confidence and trust in an industry that is essential to improving the quality of life. Around 90% of the world鈥檚 major chemical companies are members.
Implementing Responsible Care
By implementing this Charter, Shell Chemicals companies will continue to strive to improve their HSSE performance, advance sustainable development, champion and facilitate the appropriate extension of Responsible Care across the business value chain, and address stakeholder expectations in continuing to develop Responsible Care.
