Responsible Care is the global chemical industry’s health, safety and environmental initiative to drive continuous improvement in performance. It achieves this objective by meeting and going beyond legislative and regulatory compliance, and by adopting cooperative and voluntary initiatives with government and other stakeholders. Responsible Care is both an ethic and a commitment that seeks to build confidence and trust in an industry that is essential to improving living standards and the quality of life. The report discusses how the principles of Responsible Care is guiding VCI's response to the health and environmental risks associated with nanotechnologies.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
