Responsible Care Committee

The Fecc secretariat and the Resposible Care Committee offer support and practical help with implementation. Training for new RC coordinators, workshops and information sessions are organised in order to share best practices and promote the programme with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.

The promotion of Responsible Care is a priority to Fecc and the Responsible Care Committee has been established to strengthen and develop as well as to coordinate the Responsible Care programme with national associations. The Committee monitors the developments of the Responsible Care programme at European level (e.g. yearly collection and review of performance indicators), ensures an active promotion and communication of Responsible Care and carries out educational initiatives (e.g. RC seminars and conferences).
