  4. Introduction In December 2009, the Gulf Chemicals and Petrochemicals (GPCA) Board of Directors formally adopted the Chemical Industry’s initiative called “Responsible Care®”. Responsible Care was created in 1984 by the Canadian Chemical Producers' Association, with the clear intent of establishing the following goals: Improved chemical processes Enhanced practices and procedures Reduction of every kind of waste, accident incident, and emission Reliable communication and dialogue Heightened public scrutiny and input GPCA RC Program Development Workshop-II

  5. Codes of Management Practices Responsible Care® is underpinned by a number of technical processes called Codes of Management Practices. These codes provide specific technical requirements and guidance for Companies to fulfill their responsibilities in terms of Responsible Care® and adopted by GPCA: Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER) Environment Code Health and Safety Process Safety Distribution Product Stewardship Security GPCA RC Program Development Workshop-II

  6. Objective-Environment Code Achieve ongoing reductions in the amount of all contaminants and pollutants Achieve ongoing reductions in the amount of wastes generated at facilities Includes practices that address the broader waste management issues beyond source reduction Help in fulfilling the requirements of the Responsible Care Management System-RC 14001 standard Help to identify the gaps and come up with an effective implementation plan to address those gaps. GPCA RC Program Development Workshop-II

  7. Key words –Environment Code GPCA RC Program Development Workshop-II

  8. Relation to RC Guiding Principles To lead our companies in ethical ways that increases the benefits to society by protecting our people, environment and community. To design and operate our facilities in a safe, secure and environmentally sound manner. To steward our products and services through each lifecyclestages in order to protect people and the environment. To counsel customers and stakeholders on the safe use, transportation and disposal of chemical products. Continue……d GPCA RC Program Development Workshop-II

  9. Relation to RC Guiding Principles To promote environment, minimization of wastes and conservation of energy and other critical resources. To measure performance, openly report and make continual progress towards our goal of eliminating accidents, injuries or harm to human health and the environment from our products and operations. To seek continual improvement in our integrated Responsible Care Management System® to address health, safety, security and environment performance. To promote the principles and practices of Responsible Care by sharing experiences and offering assistance to others who produce, handle, use, transport or dispose of chemicals.
