The Responsible Care® initiative establishes a comprehensive series of standardized member company performance measurements, or metrics, through which individual companies and the industry track and publicly report results on an annual basis. In addition, Responsible Care partner companies each have a set of specific performance metrics, standardized by their appropriate business sector, which they are required to report on an annual basis.
This process allows Responsible Care companies to benchmark their performance and prioritize areas for continued progress. It also enables the public to understand how industry is working to improve performance and to track our results.
Through ResponsibleCare-US.com, members of the American Chemistry Council have made available the most performance data of any private sector group. This website provides easy public access to industry-wide and company-specific performance data on environmental protection, safety, security, product stewardship, management systems certification and economics.
ACC members and Responsible Care Partners are required to report company-specific performance data electronically. A detailed guidance document is available to assist members in this process. Non-members may purchase the “Responsible Care Metrics Data Management System Users Manual” online.
