 "Solvay Specialty's Panoli plant receives Responsible Care certification")
The Panoli (Gujarat) manufacturing facility of Solvay Specialty Polymers, a global supplier of ultra-high performance thermoplastics, has earned Responsible Care certification from the Indian Chemical Council. Responsible Care is a voluntary initiative of the global chemical industry to improve health and environmental performance, enhance security, and communicate with stakeholders about products and processes.
At the Panoli site, Solvay manufactures Veradel polyethersulfone (PESU), KetaSpire polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and related monomers for PESU.
“Our company is committed to sustainable development which improves employee safety, the health of the communities in which they operate, and the environment as a whole, moving us toward a safer, more sustainable future. Responsible Care certification further reinforces our dedication to developing and supplying products and services that, throughout their life cycle, involve minimum risk to human beings and the environment, while best meeting the needs of our customers,” said S Sankaranarayanan, Panoli plant manager for Solvay Specialty Polymers.
Solvay became a signatory to the Responsible Care guiding principles in India in 2013 and later successfully passed an audit inspection by the Indian Chemical Council (ICC). Through Responsible Care guiding principles, member companies pledge to improve environmental, health, safety, and security performance for facilities, processes, and products throughout the entire operating system. Companies also are committed to open and transparent reporting and submit annual data on their progress toward meeting performance measured goals.
Responsible Care was launched in Canada in 1985 and has expanded into a global movement now practiced in more than 60 countries around the world, and overseen by the International Council of Chemical Associations. Specific Responsible Care practices may vary from country to country as they are determined by each country’s laws, culture, and national industry association requirements.
