responsible care^® - oxychem's way of life

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. At OxyChem, every employee is a safety and environmental activist with the power to make improvements.
