Responsible Care
Did You Know?
Responsible Care® is also a global initiative that is practiced currently in 52 countries, which share a common commitment to advancing the safe and secure management of chemical products and processes.
Managing Environmental and Safety Performance
One of the cornerstones of delivering superior results is an effective program to manage environmental and safety performance, process safety, product stewardship, transportation safety, community awareness and security. Oronite's Responsible Care Program helps us do just that.
Responsible Care® is a global chemical industry performance initiative that is implemented in the United States through the American Chemistry Council. Since adopting standards in 1988, Responsible Care companies have reduced environmental releases by 78 percent and achieved an employee safety record that is four and a half times better than the average of the US manufacturing sector.
Responsible Care® helps America's leading chemical companies like Oronite, go above and beyond government requirements and openly communicate their results to the public. Responsible Care® is more than a set of principles and declarations. It is implementing world-class management systems and verifying them through independent auditors.
A key component to our success in Responsible Care® is our ability to partner with third party companies that transport, store, and sell our products. Through regularly scheduled visits called DAC (Distribution Activity Code) Reviews, we are able to visit their facilities and evaluate their environmental, safety and health procedures. We make suggestions for improvement and share best practices. We learn from them as well. We are always striving for continuous improvement.
