Responsible Care - 14001 Services

There’s a new environmental management system in town: Responsible Care®- 14001 (RC14001). RC14001 was created by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and the Registrar Accreditation Board (RAB) to help chemical and petrochemical companies receive recognition for incorporating health and safety, product stewardship, environmental quality and outreach communications into their quality management programs.

ENSR provided consulting and technical support to Arch Chemicals in Rochester NY, helping the facility become the second plant in America to achieve certification in December 2003. ENSR has teamed with Verrico Associates, the recognized industry leader in Responsible Care® and sole ACC-approved trainer for RC14001, to provide unparalleled, comprehensive RC14001 services.

Businesses in the chemical and allied industries with existing management systems are the most natural candidates for RC-14001. By upgrading existing Responsible Care® programs to RC-14001, companies can add depth, rigor, and credibility to their existing programs. Conversely, by upgrading existing ISO 14001 EMSs to RC-14001, organizations can add accountability and breadth to their respective management system.
