We know we first have to earn confidence, and that this process requires transparency, dialogue and responsibility.

We are not alone in possessing this conviction and determination. With the "Responsible Care" initiative, companies in the chemical industry worldwide have undertaken to continually improve their performance and services. Beyond the statutory requirements, we and other chemical companies see our duty in the continual improvement of environmental protection, health, plant safety,product responsibility and public dialogue.

We can only earn confidence by setting challenging goals for "Responsible Care". Achieving these targets lies in all our interests, because only an efficient, responsible and credible chemical industry can secure its own existence and that of others. QUAB wants to earn your confidence - worldwide.
