FOR DECADES, RESPONSIBLE CARE HAS BEEN THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR INDUSTRY'S COMMITMENT TO PRODUCT SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY. IN 2020, ACC INITIATED A STRATEGIC REVIEW OF THE PROGRAM AS PART OF OUR EFFORTS TO CONTINUALLY IMPROVE. AFTER MONTHS OF WORK, THE BOARD APPROVED ENHANCEMENTS TO THE RESPONSIBLE CARE PROCESS SAFETY CODE AND THE RESPONSIBLE CARE SECURITY CODE IN 2021. THE ENHANCED PROCESS SAFETY CODE EMPHASIZES LEADERSHIP, ACCOUNTABILITY AND CULTURE, AND IS AIMED AT DRIVING PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT. THE CODE IS ACTION-ORIENTED AND IDENTIFIES EXPECTATIONS FOR BOTH SENIOR LEADERS AND FACILITY LEADERS. IT CALLS ON THEM TO DEMONSTRATE WITH BOTH WORDS AND ACTIONS THE IMPORTANCE OF PROCESS SAFETY. THE ENHANCED RESPONSIBLE CARE SECURITY CODE INCREASES THE EMPHASIS ON CYBERSECURITY AND PROVIDES MORE CLARITY ON EXPECTATIONS AND DESIRED OUTCOMES. NEW MANAGEMENT PRACTICES RELATED TO CRISIS AND EMERGENCY PLANNING HAVE ALSO BEEN ADDED.
