Responsible Care® was created to enable leading chemical companies to achieve even higher standards of performance and generate greater value for their businesses. Afton Chemical, as a member of the American Chemistry Council and founding member of the Responsible Care initiative, made a commitment to achieve RC14001 certification.
“We have been fully committed to the principles of responsible care since the program was introduced,” says Rob Shama, President, Afton Chemical. “This certificate underscores our commitment to the responsible development, manufacture, transportation and handling of our products everywhere we operate. I am very proud of our team and their visible support of Responsible Care.”
“This was no small feat,” says Todd VanderVen, President, BSI Group Americas. “Afton Chemical’s achievement of Responsible Care certification demonstrates the implementation of effective and proven management practices as evaluated by a rigorous assessment, and the ongoing evaluation of those practices by a third party. It’s a very big commitment to improvement.”
The RC14001 certification must be provided by an accredited third party, like BSI, an international standards organization operating under British Royal Charter since 1929. BSI is also independently assessed and accredited globally by ANAB (ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board) and by over 26 other accreditation bodies throughout the world.
