What’s Responsible Care?
Responsible Care
Responsible Care (RC) activities refer to voluntary initiatives undertaken by business operators with taking measures to improve “chemical products safety,” “environmental conservation,” “safety and disaster prevention,” and “occupational safety and health” throughout the life cycle of chemical products, from purchase to manufacture, distribution, sales, and disposal.
* “Chemical products safety” refers to domestic and foreign laws and knowledge about environmental conservation and occupational safety and health related to products purchased and sold.
Compliance with laws and regulations
In domestic and overseas transactions, we comply with the regulations of each country related to chemical products safety, environmental conservation, safety and disaster prevention, and occupational safety and health and obtain and provide appropriate information.
