Chemical Industry Leaders Recognized for Improved Performance, Commitment to Health and Safety Programs

The American Chemistry Council’s (ACC) Responsible Care Awards Program recognizes those companies and individuals that have made an outstanding contribution to improved environmental, health, safety, and security (EHS&S) performance in the chemical sector.
