Product Stewardship is an integral part of the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care® Code of Management Practices. It challenges companies to improve performance throughout a product's life cycle, from "cradle to grave".
Responsible Product Stewardship makes health, safety and environmental protection an integral part of designing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, using, recycling and disposing of our products. Educating customers about all safety and health aspects of a product means carrying our messages well beyond our plant boundaries. Successful Product Stewardship is a shared responsibility. Everyone involved with the product has responsibilities to address society's interest in a healthy environment and in products that can be used safely. As employers, we are responsible for providing a safe workplace, and everyone who uses and handles our products must follow safe and environmentally sound practices.
