2020 Outlook: Advancing the safety and sustainability of the chemical industry

As Responsible Care® enters its fourth decade, the program continues to provide a roadmap to help make the chemical industry safe, transparent and sustainable. People around the world want to understand what’s in the products they buy, that they’re being produced safely and how the industry is working to improve the manufacturing process. Here we talk with Tara Henriksen, managing director of Responsible Care for the American Chemistry Council, about the progress made over the last 30 years and the industry’s priorities in the coming decade. Responsible Care has been the backbone of the chemical industry’s commitment to making facility safety, security, environmental protection and product stewardship top priorities for the last 30 years.
