The National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) and the American Chemistry Council (ACC) have signed an agreement to closely cooperate in the promotion and performance of their respective environmental, health, safety, and security (EHS&S) initiatives: Responsible Distribution Process (RDP) and Responsible Care.
The objective of this agreement is to recognize and support the continued communication and support between manufacturers and distributors of the two organizations and the success that these respective programs have had and will continue to demonstrate. Each represents a different component of the same supply chain. Responsible Care and RDP are complementary to each other and help ensure chemical products are protected through to the downstream users.
