Joins a league of First 100 companies to achieve this significant sustainability move
PUNE: Finolex Industries Limited is proud to be conferred the 77th company to have permission to use the Responsible Care (RC) Logo for its Ratnagiri site. This is one among many steps towards our journey to build world-class sustainable manufacturing operations at Finolex and is an enhanced value to all its stakeholders while demonstrating our commitment towards environmental, health, safety, and security.
Responsible Care® is a global initiative of the chemical manufacturing industry that began in Canada in 1984, was adopted by the US Chemical industry in 1988 and today it is practiced in more than 68 countries around the world. For the last many years, Responsible Care has helped chemical companies to significantly enhance their performance and improve the health and safety of employees, the communities in which they operate, and the environment as a whole.
Indian Chemical Council, the apex industry body representing the chemical industry in India, is a nodal body pursuing the “Responsible Care Programme” in India. This is a global initiative through the International Council of Chemical Association (ICCA) since 2003 for motivating the Indian chemical industry for the adoption of this ethical voluntary program. Finolex Industries Limited has signed for this program in 2021 and was audited by a team of ICC auditors in early 2022.
On receiving this certification, Mr. Sanjay Math, Managing Director, Finolex Industries Ltd, commented,
“Finolex Industries is proud to adhere to the highest standards of sustainable development through safer products, improved people safety and health, operational process safety, environment preservation, and community development. The Responsible Care accreditation stands as a prized testimony of our efforts towards sustainable operations in all the activities we are engaged in. We are glad to be among the first 100 companies in the country who have been granted the right to use of the Responsible Care logo’’
