Members of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) are three times safer than chemical companies that are not members and four times safer than manufacturing companies in general. To what do they owe that success? Two words: Responsible Care.
“When there’s an incident in the industry, whether they’re a member or not, that gives us a black eye,” said Chris Jahn, CEO of the ACC in an interview. “We have a tremendous incentive to continue to improve our performance overtime so that we continue to have our license to operate and grow here in the United States.”
Part of membership with the ACC is mandatory participation in the organization’s Responsible Care program. The program provides training and resources for companies that promote safety and sustainability values businesses must adhere to — and prove that they are adhering to. More than 150 companies took part in Responsible Care in 2023, resulting in a decrease in certain emissions and in recordable employee injury and illness rates.
The goal of Responsible Care is to promote safety and sustainability performance in the U.S. chemical industry while promoting the industry’s innovation and production. Jahn said the chemical industry is bringing solutions for some of the world’s biggest challenges, including climate change, through things like alternative energy and the chemistry used for lightweighting electric vehicles.
“We’re going to need to innovate and grow to tackle those challenges, but we need to do it safely, securely, and in an environmentally responsible way,” Jahn said. “We’re continuing to raise the bar of performance for our members while they’re solving the world’s biggest challenges.”
