Responsible Care
Voluntary worldwide initiative with the goal to make steady improvements with respect to environment, safety and health
As we work towards a sustainable future, BASF is committed to Responsible Care® , a voluntary, worldwide initiative of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) launched in 1988. The key areas of Responsible Care® are environmental and health protection, product stewardship, plant and transportation safety and emergency responses as well as conducting an open dialogue with society. It applies to products and services at all of BASF’s sites.
As a 100% subsidiary of BASF group, BTC fully supports the Responsible Care® initiative : we do not merely consider it to be just another word for environmental protection but rather a prominent part of our corporate culture that determines the ethics which govern our actions.
