Responsible Care: Verification

Verification

  • To help companies assure themselves and their public that the ethics and practices of Responsible Care® are indeed in place and driving continuous improvement, the Responsible Care verification process was developed with the involvement and continuing oversight of outside stakeholders.

     

    This process has three purposes:

     

    • To help the companies improve
    • To help the industry improve
    • To improve credibility

     

    The Verification Process

     

    Every three years teams of industry experts, public advocates and local citizens verify companies by writing a consensus report that:

     

    • Summarizes the verification process and players
    • Identifies opportunities for improvement
    • Uncovers findings requiring corrective action and successful practices

     

    Once the team has successfully completed their work, the company is presented a verification certificate. MEGlobal was verified as a Responsible Care company in 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019, successfully demonstrating compliance with the 151 individual requirements that member companies must meet for Responsible Care to be in place.
