Responsible Care Activity

Responsible Care refers to voluntary activities conducted by chemical companies to manage their products throughout their life cycles, from development through to manufacture, distribution, use, final consumption and disposal, with a view to protecting “safety, health and the environment” and promoting dialogue and communication with society by the public announcement of the activity results. We promote activities based on the Responsible Care Action Guidelines to fulfill our responsibility as a chemical manufacturer and contribute to a sustainable global society.

Responsible Care Action Plan

• The Crasus Group has established a Responsible Care Action Plan under which it is carrying out initiatives in this area. Each of our plants has also developed its own specific action plan to promote Responsible Care.
  The Crasus Group works to achieve continuous improvement in its Responsible Care activities through the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle of formulating Responsible Care activity plans (plan), implementing these (do), auditing and evaluating the results (check), and reflecting these via management review in the next round of objectives and activity plans (act). We will continue to promote active engagement in these efforts to meet our targets.
