Responsible Care is a Canadian creation. It is a new ethic for the safe and environmentally sound management of chemicals throughout their life cycle.

How important is Responsible Care to member companies? The CEO or most senior executive of every member of CCPA must commit to implement the guiding principles and codes of practice of Responsible Care within three years of joining the association and to be publicly verified as having done so. All companies are re-verified every three years. The expectations of members and partners in Responsible Care go beyond the required implementation of codes of practice. Expectations include CEO networking via leadership groups, public input through a national advisory panel, and mutual assistance through sharing successful practices.

While much progress has been made, we have a long way to go. Working with people to come up with solutions is a continuous process - one which requires everyone's attention.
