Responsible Care

This year DEZA, a. s. for the seventh time defended its right to use the logo of Responsible Care – “Responsible Enterprise in Chemistry”.

The "Responsible Care" program is a globally accepted and developed voluntary initiative of the chemical industry aimed at supporting its sustainable development through responsive increase of the safety of operated facilities and products, including their transport, as well as improvement in the protection of human health, working conditions and the environment. At present there are in total 53 countries participating in the initiative having a common objective, which is constant improvement in the protection of human health and the environment in connection with the production, distribution and use of chemicals. The program represents a long-term strategy coordinated by the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) and the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic) in agreement with the European Association of Chemical Distributors (FECC). The Czech version of the Responsible Care initiative is a program called “Responsible Enterprise in Chemistry”, announced officially in October 1994 by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The institution charged with overall coordination of this program is the Association of Chemical Industry of the CR (SCHP ČR).
