CHEMISTRY INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF
CANADA (CIAC) is a pragmatic, policy-based
organization that represents the interests of
Canada's chemistry sector leaders – innovators,
solution providers, and world-class stewardship
pioneers.
CIAC shares its members' stories with
decision-makers at federal and provincial levels
and backs them with solid analysis and scientific
data, to help shape public policy that supports
innovation, investment, sustainability, jobs, and
the environment.
As the founder of Responsible Care, a
globally-recognized initiative that leads the
way in responsible and sustainable chemical
manufacturing, CIAC is committed to "do the
right thing" and be "seen to be doing the right
thing," as it performs its role in bettering society,
the environment, and the economy.
As part of a responsible care ethic, Shannon
Watt, VP of sustainability at CIAC, talks about
the importance of building a culture of worker
safety and sharing best practices in these tough
times: "Being able to share best practices when
it comes to worker safety and health is essential
to ensuring that everybody is safe," says Watt.
"There's no reason why we cannot share what
works in our company with somebody else."
