BASF signs Responsible Care® Global Charter
Company plans to improve its environment, health and safety performance even further in the future
The Responsible Care Global Charter contains several principles regarding the development of Responsible Care at a national and international level. One of these is a stronger commitment to product stewardship, aimed at the long-term improvement of risk assessment, risk management and information on products and their safe handling. In the area of social responsibility, dialogue with chemical industry stakeholders is to be enhanced.
BASF will use its existing activities as best practices in implementing the Charter's principles, and plans to play a leading role in Responsible Care in the future. The company committed itself to voluntary environmental and safety targets in 2003. These include compiling complete data sets for all chemical substances that BASF handles worldwide in volumes exceeding one metric ton per year. By the end of 2004, more than 96% of data sets in Germany had been completed.
