Responsible Care®
Responsible Care® is a global, voluntary initiative for the chemical industry implemented globally for employee health, technical safety and environmental protection, energy efficiency, resource use and sustainability.
It was first launched by the Canadian Chemical Producers’ Association in 1985 and is now practiced in over fifty countries.
It is our principle within the scope of Responsible Care® that we have undertaken since 1998 to develop, produce and present products with minimum risks towards our employees, the society, our customers, and the environment. We are acting with this awareness while improving continuously.
Undesired outcomes such as global warming, thinning of the ozone layer, decrease in animal and plant diversity, increased prevalence of air, water and soil pollution are indications that environmental problems have reached a global scale. Hence, we are of the opinion that the economic and environmental atmosphere should be evaluated as a whole.
We are acting with the awareness that the energy consumed in all stages from production to delivery make an impact on environmental issues, CO2 emissions and global warming. We are aiming to use environmentally friendly products and develop technologies for minimizing energy consumption in all operations.
As a requirement of the Kyoto Protocol signed by many countries within the scope of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, we conduct our activities to contribute to the objective of our group company Kansai Paint to reduce CO2 emissions.
All wastes at Kansai Altan facilities are classified, stored, transported, and disposed of in accordance with regulations. Focusing on means of recovery/recycling for the wastes in line with the sustainable development principle is among the primary objectives of our company.
Individual awareness is of utmost importance for a clean environment. For this purpose, we cover all expenses for the trainings of our employees and customers thus pioneering the sector by increasing awareness.
