Responsible Care(r): Protecting our Industry

Thursday, November 6, 2003, 10:40 am, Room 320

Session: Development and Implementation of Sustainable Processes
Presenter: J. Henninger, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
Correspondent: Click to Email

When Responsible Care was launched in the late 1980's, it was a groundbreaking initiative and unique in industry. Its goals were: improve environmental, health and safety performance and allay community concerns about the industry. As a result, the performance of the industry improved significantly as did the relationships with our neighbours but not the general public. The program is being expanded and improved significantly to address the issues of today, e.g., terrorism. The presentation will describe the Responsible Care and how Air Products uses it to protect our people, our customers, our communities, the environment, and our license to operate.
