Chemtrade is committed to continually reducing the environmental impact of its activities and improving the health and safety of its employees and the communities in which it operates.  It does this by implementing policies and management systems that include extensive training as well as periodic reviews of assets, operations and activities to measure performance and compliance.

Chemtrade is a member of the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (CIAC) and supports and adheres to the Association’s Responsible Care® ethic and its Codes of Practices.  Responsible Care® is a global voluntary initiative of the chemical industry and is a unique ethic for the safe and environmentally sound management of chemicals. It also guides companies towards environmental, societal, and economic sustainability.
