The responsible care initiative

In 1990, Adisseo decided to support actively the “Responsible Care” initiative, in applying all its principles throughout the world. The “Responsible Care” initiative is a joint undertaking of the global chemical industry for the safe management of chemicals throughout their lifecycle, while promoting their role in improving quality of life and in contributing to sustainable development. This commitment is regularly renewed.
