Responsible Care®

Pioneering our industry’s progress in sustainability

Huntsman has been a leader in chemical manufacturing for decades. We’re a founding member of Responsible Care®, the industry’s environmental, health, safety and security performance initiative. This program helps member companies elevate the safety of their employees, support local communities and protect the environment all while enhancing performance.

Championing a worldwide movement

Championed by the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA), Responsible Care® is licensed by ICCA to the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and other national chemical associations. ACC represents U.S. companies in the chemical industry, including Huntsman. Our CEO Peter Huntsman is a board officer for ACC. We’re proud to help promote chemistry’s role in making global manufacturing more sustainable and in encouraging innovations that make the world a better and safer place.

Our leadership in sustainability extends even further through our partnerships with the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC), the Indian Chemistry Council (ICC) and the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation (CPCIF).

Product Stewardship

Safer products, better business, everyone’s responsibility

At Huntsman, product stewardship is an integrated process for identifying, managing and minimizing the environmental, health and safety impacts at every stage of a product’s life cycle. Our commitment to safer and sustainable products enhances public confidence, keeps our customers and consumers safe, and ensures our reputation as a responsible and sustainable company.

Huntsman safety data sheets (SDSs) are available in multiple languages and accessible to all registered Huntsman customers on Huntsman’s online service portal. We offer our customers training on Huntsman’s product stewardship as well as in-depth training on safety data sheets, regulatory compliance and safe use of products in customer applications.

Customers can access product safety information through multiple channels, including:

Huntsman associates are trained on product safety relevant to their roles and responsibilities. Designated product stewards are equipped to train associates, customers, distributors and transporters.

Product Safety Summaries

As part of our commitment to product stewardship, we publish product safety summaries that provide a general description of certain chemical substances. Publishing product safety summaries is one of the targets set forth in our Horizon 2025 strategy for environment, health, and safety, which is aligned with the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care® initiative. The product safety summaries are not intended to replace the information included on the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Product Safety Label, and other safe use and handling literature for the chemical substances. We also support the ACC's publication of product safety information on its website, www.chemicalsafetyfacts.org.
