ChemSpec Ltd. sa9d it achieved full membership status with the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) and successfully passed its NACD Responsible Distribution verification for the current three-year cycle.
Responsible Distribution is the NACD’s third-party verified environmental, health, safety, and security program that allows members to demonstrate their commitment to continuous performance improvement in every phase of chemical storage, handling, transportation, and disposal.
“Responsible Distribution is critical to the chemical distribution industry’s ability to safely deliver more than 30 million tons of product every year,” NACD President and CEO Eric Byer said. “Through its successful verification, ChemSpec and its senior leadership have committed to the continuous improvement in the chemical distribution industry’s responsible management and handling of chemicals that ensures NACD members effectively support the industries America relies on most, like agriculture, healthcare, oil and gas, manufacturing equipment, and many others.”
The Responsible Distribution program requires on-site, third-party verification of facilities against a set of guiding principles, including strict adherence to laws and regulations and participation with interested entities in creating responsible laws, regulations, and practices to help safeguard the community, workplace, and environment.
Participation in Responsible Distribution has significant benefits, including lower instances of safety and environmental incidents, better documentation of company policies, better communication with local communities, reduced audit time and costs, and increased credibility.
“Our Quality & Regulatory Department Manager Brendan Lowery and his team have put tremendous time into obtaining this verification," ChemSpec President Dave Moreland said. "I believe this shows ChemSpec, like our parent company, Safic-Alcan, is committed to environmental stewardship, overall sustainability and continual improvement to our processes and procedures.”
