OxyVinyls, LP is a Responsible Care® company.

The term "Responsible Care company" refers to members of the American Chemistry Council, which, as part of their obligations under Responsible Care, submit annual performance data that are made publicly available on the Responsible Care website.

Since the Responsible Care initiative was instituted in 1988, significant progress has been made in health, safety and environmental stewardship, with a reported 70 percent emissions reduction industry-wide, and a worker safety record that is four times better than the average U.S. manufacturing sector.

OxyVinyls shares this common commitment to advancing the safe and secure management of chemical products and processes, and is continually striving to improve its standards of excellence.

The four basic commitments required of Responsible Care companies are:

  • Implementing the Responsible Care Security Code.
  • Applying a modern management system to achieve and verify results.
  • Measuring and publicly reporting performance.
  • Obtaining independent certification that a management system is in place and functions according to professional standards.
