Responsible Care is a voluntary
initiative within the global chemical community,
committed to constant improvement in environmental,
safety and health issues. Company commitment to
transparency toward the community and public regarding
activities, products, operations and improvements is the
basis of the 'Responsible Care' principles.
Born in Canada in 1985, Responsible Care
initiative has quickly spread to 47 countries around the world and
90% of the chemicals produced globally are produced by
companies who are members of the program.
In July 2003 Gadiv Petrochemical
Industries Ltd. signed on to the 'Responsible Care
Guiding Principles' to join a long and honorable list of
chemical producers:
The chemical industry creates products and
services that make life better for people around the
world – both today and tomorrow. The benefits of our
industry are accompanied by enduring commitments to
Responsible Care in the management of chemicals
worldwide. We will make continuous progress toward the
vision of no accidents, injuries or harm to the
environment and will publicly report our global health,
safety and environmental performance. We will lead our
