Our business is to manufacture chemicals. How we
conduct our business has a direct impact on the health and safety
of our employees, and the communities in which we operate. Through
the Responsible Care ethic our commitment to society is to
continuously manage and reduce the environmental footprint resulting
from our operations, activities and products. We are a Responsible
Care® company.
Responsible Care is a public commitment by our industry, our company
and every employee, to preserve the environment, operate safely,
and protect the health and welfare of our fellow employees and
neighbors.
Responsible Care was implemented by the American Chemistry Council
(ACC) in response to the public's concern about the possible adverse
affects of chemical production. Now, every ACC member company is
required to participate in Responsible Care. It became a new way
of life for the chemical industry.
OxyChem was one of the leaders in its adoption of the Responsible
Care way of doing business, and has been recognized as one of the
safest companies in the industry. These high standards were passed
on to OxyVinyls from its inception. At OxyVinyls, every employee
is a safety and environmental activist with the power to make improvements.
