Responsible Care is the chemical industry`s global initiative to continuously improve its operations in terms of health, safety and environmental standards.
Responsible Care was first conceived in Canada in 1985 to address public concerns about the manufacture, distribution and use of chemicals. In 1989, the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) took the lead in promoting and implementing Responsible Care initiatives worldwide through the Responsible Care Leadership Group (RCLG). In September 2002, the ICCA-RCLG meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa, re-affirmed that through Responsible Care, we can make a valuable contribution to Sustainable Development.
Today, Responsible Care has been adopted and practiced in 54 countries around the world, as shown in the table below:

The Singapore Chemical Industry Council
(SCIC) adopted Responsible Care in 1990 and continues to actively lead the chemical industry in achieving Responsible Care initiatives. Annually, various programmes such as training workshops, induction briefings, best practices sharing seminars and other outreach efforts are conducted to further advocate Responsible Care to the chemical industry and beyond.
