Responsible Care®

Responsible Care® is the chemical industries' own, unique initiative - a voluntary program that helps it to raise its standards and win greater trust from the public. It is the chemical industry's commitment to continual improvement in all aspects of health, safety and environmental (HSE) performance and to openness in communication about its activities and its achievements.

BASF-YPC Company Limited supports the responsible care and acts in a responsible manner towards safety, health and environment.

The aim of Responsible Care® is to earn public trust and confidence through a high level of HSE performance in order to maintain the industry's license to continue to operate safely, profitably and with due care for the interests of future generations.

Why Responsible Care®?

Responsible Care® is an initiative developed and adopted by chemical companies to continuously improve health, safety and environmental (HSE) performance of their operations and products in a manner responsive to the concerns of the public. Responsible Care has been adopted by Chemical Associations and their members, in over 40 nations. Responsible Care® is the basis of significant cultural change within the chemical industry, which is leading to improved performance and new levels of openness with the public.

The global chemical industry has emPaced Responsible Care because it is viewed as both "good citizenship" and a positive impact on companies' economic bottom line. For the individual company, implementation of Responsible Care® leads to improve efficiency, lower environment, health and safety costs and improved relations with stakeholders. For the global chemical industry, successful implementation of Responsible Care® demonstrates an appropriate public policy, which protects its license to operate and its ability to innovate and meet society's demands for its products. For the public, successful implementation of Responsible Care® ensures that the chemical industry will continue to provide beneficial products to society and continually reduce its negative impacts on human health and the environment.

One of the key tenets of Responsible Care® is openness and responsiveness to public and other stakeholder concerns about the management of chemicals. Therefore, the chemical industry has a keen appreciation of the need to seek input from the public and other interested groups, include this input in its development of policy, and report on its progress in meeting these expectations.
