Declaration of Support for the Responsible Care® Global Charter

I support the Responsible Care Global Charter which seeks companies to strengthen Reponsible Care worldwide working with national chemical associations. By implementing the Charter, the Rohm and Haas Company will continue to improve its environmental, health and safety performance; advance sustainable development; champion and facilitate the appropriate extension of Responsible Care across the business value chain; and address stakeholder expectations in the continuing development of Responsible Care.

As part of these commitments, the Rohm and Haas Company will work with customers and suppliers to manage its chemical products using a risk-based and life-cycle oriented approach supported by sound scientific information. These commitment include making relevant risk information publicly transparent and cooperating with governments and the public to promote the safe use of chemicals worldwide.

By implementing the Responsible Care Global Charter, the Rohm and Haas Company is playing its part in improving the quality of life of the global community.
