2) Performance Improvement: we seek continuous improvement to improve performance refersto the Eight Fundamental Feature thru implementation of KPI and verification.

3) Collaboration with Government: RCI seeking to engage in government activities particularlyrelated to government regulation and global regulation in the interests of the chemical industry.I would like to highlight the latest collaboration with the Government. Responsible Care®Indonesia (RCI) together with Federation of the Indonesian Chemical Industry (FIKI) signed theMOU with the National Agency for Nuclear Energy (BATAN). The MOU concerning promotion,development, implementation and assessment of the security culture of Chemical, BiologicalRadiological and Nuclear (CBRN). The signing ceremony took place on 19 November 2015 inthe Head Office BATAN Jakarta. This program will have a strategic value as a follow up referringto the directives of ICCA-RCLG. We believe it will be beneficial for security awareness on CBRN,more than that for the development of chemical industry in Indonesia.

4) International Engagement: RCI as members of international organizations continue toestablish relationships with various world-class organization, to stay updated in line with theimplementation of the vision and mission of RCI, such as participated in the internationalSeminar, especially at the invitation and sponsorship of the organization concerned.

5) Involvement / Coordination with ICCA-RCG and APRO: As an active member of RCLG and APRO,the RCI continues to follow events and developments, either through monthly conference calls;annual face to face meeting; including the Seminar; Conference and so on.

3. Responsible Care Award:1) Responsible Care Award is one of the e orts that are cri cal to improving the quality of performance

of the company as a commitment to Responsible Care ini a ve. During the last 3-year period hasbeen conducted twice veri ca on program associated with the Responsible Care Award for theyears 2013 and 2015. Although this year there is no speci c sponsors as in previous years, but wecan carry out RC Award 2015 by ourselves.

2) The performance of the company related to the implementa on of Responsible Care by RCImembers during the last 3 years is increase according to the review of the parameters in the KPIreport as well as the implementa on of Responsible Care Code Management Prac ces via Self-Assessment and Veri ca on. However, the increase has not been signi cant due to the numberof par cipant s ll needs to be improved. During this me, s ll less than 30% of the members areac vely par cipa ng in the veri ca on program.

3) Although the number of par cipants of RC Award in 2015 fewer than in 2013, but in terms ofquality, this year achievement is be er than ever. This year there is no Pla num Award recipients,probably one reason is the criteria for the Pla num Award this year is higher than ever before.

5) In this occasion I would like to congratulate CEOs, the company management and all companyemployees who par cipated at the 2015 Responsible Care Award program. I do believe the spiritof the RC Award is very strategic and will keep the performance improvement in the companyrespec vely,

4. RCI MembershipEvery year there is addi on of 4-5 new member companies, or about 4-5% of the total exis ngmembers. However, on the other hand there are also a number of members who are no longer ac ve,partly due to the economic situa on and so they can’t maintain their business con nuously, i.e. thecompany has been closed, acquired or merged with another company. Regardless of these problems,the challenges we face now is the fact that among thousand chemical industries (upstream anddownstream) there are less than 10% that implement Responsible Care. In this case of course we alsowant to get a boost from the Government (Ministry of Industry) to urge the company to join RCI andthrough the Chemical industry associa ons as well.

5. The RCI and FIKIAt the beginning of 2015, I personally selected and received the mandate as Execu ve Director of the


ANNUAL REPORT 2015iv

Federa on of the Indonesian Chemical Industry (FIKI) which consists of 24 associa ons of Chemical Industry including RCI, as well as around 50 member candidates of individual chemical companies. FIKI and RCI have begun to increase synergies in several areas of ac vity. Of course this auspicious occasion, we highly expect many associa ons members and companies, par cularly FIKI members, have a commitment to implement Responsible Care to improve the performance of the company. Commitment and full support of the CEOs and Senior Managers which well communicated to all levels of employees are a must for the successful implementa on of Responsible Care.

6. FinancialThe Audit of Financial Statements by Public Accountant, stated that nancial statements present fairly,in all material respects; the nancial posi on of the RCI as of December 31, 2014 and its nancialperformance and cash ow for the year then ended are in accordance with Financial Accoun ngStandards for En es of non-Public Accountability.Referring to Financial Statement (un-audit Report as of today 18 December 2015), the RCI’s nancialposi on is quite healthy. To nance the ac vi es of 2016, assuming that annual dues are collected on me, it is not necessary to review annual dues from RCI’s members.

One important note is the collec on of annual fee that does not reach the target (below 90%). In thefuture, need to be reminded of the willingness of the members to pay dues, because this is the keyfactor to support the success of the RCI program. On the other hand we realize, RCI also should improve themselves to be able to help members to improve their performance, including accommoda ng thehopes and expecta ons of its members.

On this occasion I would like to express apprecia on to colleagues, members of Boards of Presidium, RCI team that has worked together with solid dedica on during the period of 2012-2015. To the CEO, and the Corporate Leaders, Members of RCI, of course I de nitely appreciate and very grateful for their ac ve par cipa on so that the RCI program can take place properly.

I truly appreciate to every-one who has contributed on achieving the 2012-2015 work programs successfully. We learn from good and bad things, let’s work together to improve our achievement in the coming period program. I hope that, whoever will lead the RCI will s ll have the full support of all of you and all leaders of the company RCI members.

Finally I would like to convey my grateful to the Government of Indonesia, The Ministry of Industry, Ministry of The Environment and Forestry, Ministry of Manpower, and to BATAN as well as other Government Ins tu on and Stakeholder who worked and support RCI Program.

About Responsible Care®

Responsible Care® is the global chemical industry’s voluntary ini a ve that commits chemical companies, through their na onal associa ons to con nuously improve their health, safety and environmental (HSE) performance.

Launched in 1985 by the Chemistry Industry Associa on of Canada (CIAC), its ethic and principle quickly spread to many countries. In 1988 Responsible Care® was adopted by the U.S. Chemical Manufactures’ Associa on (CMA), now known as the American Chemistry Council (ACC). And in 1989, the forma on of the Interna onal Council of Chemical Associa ons (ICCA), a world-wide body of the chemical industry that represen ng chemical manufactures and producers all over the world, has taken the lead in promo ng and implemen ng worldwide Responsible Care® Ini a ves.

Through Responsible Care® chemical industry communicates with stakeholders about its products and processes, and cooperates with others in the value chain in the manufacture, supply and use of products that bring real bene ts to society.

Na onal associa on such as the Responsible Care® Indonesia (RCI) and many others sign up to Responsible Care® through ICCA. ICCA acts as guardian of the Responsible Care® ini a ves. The Responsible Care® Leadership Group (RCLG) of ICCA administers na onal associa on globally in monitoring implementa on and ensures Responsible Care® evolves to address current concerns and issues rela ng to chemical companies. Each na onal associa on runs its own na onal or regional program with its member companies. As of 2014, there are 58 na onal associa ons in 62 economies are part of this global ini a ve.

A Responsible Ethic by Chemistry IndustryThe ethic, principles and many ac ons of Responsible Care® had led the chemical industry to develop several related ini a ves, each of which is part of the industry’s e ort to live up to the public’s and its own, expecta ons.

These include the Responsible Care® Guiding Principles, Responsible Care® Codes of Prac ce, Responsible Care® Global Charter, Research Ini a ve and the Global Product Strategy. Through these ini a ves, Responsible Care® helps the chemical industry to operate safely pro tably and with care for future genera on. Responsible Care® enables the chemical industry to demonstrate how its health, safety and environmental performance have improved over the years and to develop policies for further improvement.

Responsible Care® requires companies to be open and transparent with their stakeholders from local communi es to environmental lobby groups, from local authori es and government to the media, and of course the general public. It has driven a transforma on in the way that companies operate: from being secre ve and defensive about their ac vi es, to being more open, honest, and ac vely seeking dialogue and partnerships with stakeholders.

Responsible Care® ini a ves are exible in order to transcend di erences in culture, regional or na onal legisla on and so on, thereby enabling all na onal associa ons and their member companies, wherever they are in the world to adopt Responsible Care and adapt it to suit their local situa onal.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

ABOUT RESPONSIBLE CARE®

Nevertheless, there is a common set of fundamental features that all na onal associa ons must adhere to, ensuring the ini a ve remains true to its core ethic. This set of fundamental features would be covered in the next sec on.

Do you know bene t of Responsible Care®?

Responsible Care is our commitment to mee ng Indonesia’s expecta ons for community, environmental as well as company asset protec on, employee health and safety, product steward-ship, and social engagement. Responsible Care companies are doing more today than ever before to improve performance.

How do companies and their facili es bene t from Responsible Care® in a business sense?

E ciencies and pro tability.

There is much e ciency to be gained by taking advantage of exis ng management systems rather than crea ng new ones. In adop ng a Responsible Care® Management System, facili es could draw on as many exis ng resources as possible. Signi cant bene ts can be realized by implemen ng, integra ng and streamlining exis ng, segregated management systems. Addi onally, the Responsible Care® veri ca on process can encourage teamwork by bringing together diverse sta from mul ple management teams, including environmental, health, employee, plant and asset, product, distribu on safety and security; community rela ons; regulatory compliance; and purchasing. Collec vely, representa ves from these groups can determine away to combine their current systems into one complete and comprehensive management system.

on “Product stewardship at the Core of Sustainability” with speakers providing insights on the importance of product stewardship and GPS as a tool and instrument in ensuring the safety of all who use and handle products in safe and environmentally sound prac ces thus achieving sustainability along the supply chain.

Under the umbrella of Responsible Care®, the Global Product Strategy or GPS was designed to advance individual companies and, collec vely, the global chemical industry’s each product stewardship performance, to improve communica on and transparency on chemicals and safety prac ces across the value chain and to the public.

Mr. Masahiko Hanzawa of the Japan Chemical Industry Associa on (JCIA), Mr. Anthony Clymo of BASF, Mr. Jonathan Chong of DuPont and Mr. Leendert Van Dijk of Eastman Chemicals emphasized the importance of product stewardship and GPS which were designed to help companies achieve their vision where the public values the products and trusts they are responsibly managed throughout their lifecycles.

“Sustainability programs in Distribu on and CAER Code” were discussed in the fourth session chaired by Mr. Chalermsak Karnchanawarin of Responsible Care Commi ee Management of Thailand (RCMT). Dis nguished speakers provided a perspec ve on the importance of crea ng a sustainable program on Distribu on and CAER ac vi es that ensure the safety of product, facili es and the community.

In the presenta ons of Mr. Rudy Harder Jr. of Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corpora on, Mr. Sylvain Brosseau of Canadian Emergency Risk Management, Mr. Barry Dyer of New Zealand Responsible Care and Mr. Richard Davey of Na onal Chemical Emergency Center, it was

noted that implementa on of distribu on ac vi es is unique in the sense that it deals with both products and facili es, but more importantly it deals with a broad range of third party providers of services and many external organiza ons and communi es. Incidences may happen while distribu on ac vi es are taking place. In these situa ons, companies need to ensure that emergency preparedness is in place and ensure foster community awareness. It calls for a commitment to openness and community dialogue.

Process Safety code of Responsible Care® is designed to prevent res, explosions an accidental chemical releases. It is comprised of a series of management

prac ces that re ect this goal, with the expecta on of con nuous performance improvement for each management prac ce. The prac ces are based on the principle that facili es will be safe if they are designed according to sound engineering prac ces, built, operated and maintained properly and periodically reviewed for conformance.

The h session on “Sustainable Manufacturing: Process Safety and EHS” chaired by Mr. Kazuyuki Akita of the Japan Chemical Industry Associa on, speakers provided insights on the importance of adop ng and implemen ng process safety and employee health & safety ac vi es inside the facili es towards achieving

sustainable manufacturing.

Mr. Ronaldo Mangalindan of Air Liquide Philippines and Mr. Achmad Zaid of Petrokimia Gresik Indonesia emphasized that companies must commit to the reduc on of process safety incidents by adhering to sound engineering prac ces consistent with recognized codes and standards for process design and opera ng parameters and procedures. According to Ms. Rainelda Yaba of Stepan Philippines, companies must conduct periodic assessment and hazard review throughout the manufacturing, processing, handling and on-site storage of chemicals and implement ac on to minimize the risks including the possible human error while Mr. Sarang Arun Mahajan encouraged companies to develop workplace health and safety programs, as well as waste and release reduc on programs, which address and minimize releases and waste genera on.

The world is surrounded by chemicals. We used them in our daily lives and are found everywhere. They are found in our food, at home, at work and the things we use. Chemicals are very useful but because of some wrong prac ces, ignorance and abuses such as the improper use and disposal of chemical waste, our



“Business communi es around the world are realizing that to achieve global compe veness, they have to start crea ng their green agenda and reduce their environmental impact” according to Undersecretary A y. Jonas R. Leones of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Following the opening ceremonies, thirty six foreign and local speakers provided discussions and best prac ce sharing on the sessions for the whole conference. In the rst Session, Mr. Thomas Lewis of Dow Chemical Company, Mr. Homer Maranan of the Associa on of Petrochemical Manufacturers of the Philippines and Ms. Rachel Fleishman of BASF gave their insights on Sustainability aligned with the Conference theme. In his speech, Mr. Meneleo Carlos of the Federa on of Philippine Industries said that “The numerous disasters that now occur throughout the world has called for earlier ac on to stronger commitments for more responsible for our planet and her resources”.

The 14th APRCC is a celebra on of a very signi cant event as Responsible Care marks its 30th anniversary since it’s launched in 1985. The speakers of session 1 with RC Turns 30 as a topic, was chaired by Mr. Derrick Clarin of BASF focused on providing informa on on how Responsible Care® has evolved and changed the chemical industry landscape worldwide and discussions as to how companies bene ted from implemen ng Responsible Care®.

Launched in 1985 by the Canadian Chemical Producers’ Associa on, this dynamic ini a ve is constantly evolving to meet the challenges facing chemical manufacturers and all those in the value chain. Globally, that advancement was demonstrated with the launching of the Responsible Care Global Charter in 2006 during the UN-led Interna onal Conference

on Chemicals Management in Dubai.

Responsible Care® is the chemical industry’s unique global ini a ve that drives con nuous improvement in health, safety and environmental (HSE) performance, together with open and transparent communica on with stakeholders. It embraces the development and applica on of sustainable chemistry, helping our industry contribute to sustainable development while allowing us to meet the world’s growing need for essen al chemicals and the products those chemicals make possible.

Regarded as the father of Responsible Care, Mr. Jean Belanger congratulated the Responsible Care community on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of RC through a video presenta on. Mr. Kyosuke Okano and Ms. Maria Eugenia De Los Angeles Re ori gave the overview on the status of implementa on and other related projects of the Asia- Paci c and European Region.

The session on Responsible Care update was discussed in Session 2 with Mr. Setyabudhi Zuber of Responsible Care Indonesia as the chairman. Speakers from the Associa on of Interna onal Chemical Manufacturers (AICM) of China, Mr. John Gao, China Petroleum Chemical Industry Federa on (CPCIF) of China, Mr. Ken Tsang, New Zealand Responsible Care, Mr. Barry Dyer and Japan Chemical Industry Associa on (JCIA), Mr. Kazuyuki Akita provided a peek into the performance of di erent industry associa ons on the basis of RC Global Charter as well as the ongoing and future programs of the associa ons. It must be noted that the implementa on of Responsible Care® of each chemical industry Associa on is aligned with the Responsible Care® Global Charter.

Mr. Muhtar Hashim of the Chemical Industries Council of Malaysia (CICM) chaired the third session


Improved community rela ons.

The Responsible Care® veri ca on process can will encourage and even improve successful communica ons with facility communi es and other stakeholders. Responsible Care® outreach will generate posi ve feedback, and, although it may be di cult to quan fy in nancial term, will addi onally strengthen es with communi es, Responsible Care® companies and business allies.

Compe ve advantage.

Responsible Care® companies will nd themselves with a compe ve advantage over non-Responsible Care® ones. Responsible Care® companies represent superior environmental, health, safety, security, product stewardship, and value chain performance, combined with robust community outreach – a combina on not provided by ISO cer ca on.

The compe ve advantage will become even clearer as the Responsible Care® ethic is spread along the value chain and government en es and stakeholders become be er educated as to how Responsible Care® promotes con nuous performance improvements.

Insurance:

Many companies have noted that implementa on of Responsible Care®, speci cally the Security Code has resulted in reduced liability premiums. Companies should openly discuss such possible bene ts with their insurance providers.

Financial Marketplace Recogni on.

In the future in Indonesia Socially Responsible Inves ng indexes will be taking no ce of Responsible Care® companies, but at the moment it has started in the developed country. For example FTSE4Good Index (managed by the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange) has no ed American Chemistry Council (ACC) members and Responsible Care® Partners of signi cant overlap between Responsible Care® requirements and FTSE4Good environmental criteria. Addi onally, FTSE has iden ed the strong possibility of streamlined inclusion on the FTSE4Good index through Responsible Care® implementa on, should that be something your publicly-traded, large or mid-cap company strives to a ain. FTSE selects companies for FTSE4Good par cipa on based on extensive analysis of numerous socially responsible criteria, including environmental performance.

Business Value of Responsible Care® Partnership ProgramThe Responsible Care® Partnership Program, has steadily grown in value to its par cipants. Through the Partnership Program, RCI has starts and will con nue to strengthen Responsible Care by extending its risk management prac ces beyond the factory gate through the transport, storage, marke ng, use, recycling and disposal of chemicals; and by promo ng the brand and its ethic throughout the en re value chain.

Par cipa ng in the Responsible Care program and applying these prac ces within their companies will help Partners:

l Create new cross-func onal understanding, resul ng in increased opera onal e ciencies within their own organiza ons;

l Enhance interac on with RCI members (chemical manufacturers) on environmental, health, safety, and security issues;

l Foster use of consistent terminology, which has helped streamline communica ons on health, safety, environmental and security prac ces throughout the chemical industry; and Improve dialogue with communi es and other stakeholders regarding the safe handling of chemical products.

A History of Excellence - Responsible Care® in Indonesia

Indonesia’s manufacturing industry growth as well as petrochemical industry during the past ve years, and will con nue to increase in the future. Development of petrochemical and chemical industry is focusing on strengthening the structure of upstream through the construc on of basic petrochemical industry by u lizing oil, gas and coal deposits. The chemical industry is one of the vital sectors in Indonesia’s economy as it largely contributes to the country’s Gross Domes c Product (GDP).

The chemical industry contributes signi cantly to the welfare of society so that the chemical industry became one of the na onal seed industries.

In Indonesia, Responsible Care® was rst introduced in 1994 by Mr. Rahman Subandhi of the Indonesian Chemical Industry Club (ICIC). Intensive mee ngs and discussions took place in 1996 in forming the Responsible Care® organiza on, and had resulted in Indonesia’s Responsible Care® Na onal Commi ee (KN-RCI*). Then on October 23 1997, KN-RCI was o cially by the Minister of the Environment, witnessed by the Chemical Industry Directorate General of the Department of Industry (now Ministry of Industry) and a delegate of the Directorate General of the Department of Manpower, with the launch of the rst Responsible Care® Indonesia Na onal Seminar. Keynote speaker was Mr. Stan Szymansky from the American Chemical Manufacturer Associa on, USA (now American Chemistry Council – ACC) and guest speaker Mrs. Conchita Silva from the United State of America Environmental Protec on (USAEP). As many as 150 par cipants from various chemical companies/ industries in Indonesia joined the seminar. For the record, there are 14 founder member companies comprising 6 na onal companies from the na onal fer lizer industries who are members of the Indonesian Fer lizer Produc on Associa on (APPI), 7 mul na onal companies (MNC) from the chemical industry, and 1 local investment manufacturing company.

Less than two years later a er RCI was rst established (October 23 1997), Indonesia was admi ed as ICCA-RCLG member in the RCLG Annual Conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on August 1999. The RCI has been enlisted and declared as the 42nd member of ICCA-RCLG.

OUR VISION

To become the chemical management center of Indonesia through sustainable Responsible Care® implementa on.

*) E ec ve of 1st May 2014 the name of KN-RCI has been o cially changed to RCI, abbrevia on for the Responsible Care® Indonesia.

Signing up as RCI member – Commitment of Responsible Care® in Indonesia

In Indonesia, the prac ce and implementa on of Responsible Care as well as the usage of the Responsible Care logo are administered by KN-RCI.

Company’s membership with RCI is the re-requisite for the Responsible Care signatory applica on. Upon submission of the form to RCI it would be reviewed and endorsed by the RCI Secretariat and team coordinator in charge for membership. The en re applica on process would be completed with the Responsible Care signatory granted upon signing of Responsible Care commitment Le er by the company’s CEO, President Director or Managing Director.

Responsible Care® Global Product Strategy (GPS)

One of the Responsible Care® Codes of Prac ce is the Product stewardship code, which is applicable to products, and covers more than just produc on and use of chemicals. It extends to other parts of the product chain such as transport, storage, use and eventual disposal.

For e ec ve implementa on, product stewardship requires the close co-opera on of everyone involved in the product’s life cycle. Companies are working with their suppliers, customer, distributors and user groups to spread Responsible Care throughout the supply chain.

In 2006, ICCA launched the Global Product Strategy (GPS) to expand and coordinate industry’s commitment to product stewardship and the safe use of chemicals throughout their life cycles. ICCA implements the Global Product Strategy throughout the Responsible Care® ini a ve, to increase public and stakeholder awareness and con dence that chemicals in commerce are appropriately managed throughout their lifecycle. Responsible Care® na onal associa ons and their member companies all over the world are developing new, transparent ways to report on their con nued e orts to improve product informa on and stewardship prac ces.

Represented by PT Kao Indonesia Chemicals, today Indonesia has submi ed GPS Safety Summary at ICCA Portal of three substances. The GPSSS carried out by RCI-GPS Working Group is in progress and will con nue the ac vi es next year to be published on the RCI Website and submit on ICCA Portal (see www.responsiblecare-indonesia.or.id)

INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF CHEMICAL ASSOCIATIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RESPONSIBLE CARE® GLOBAL CHARTER

What is the Responsible Care Global Charter, and why was it developed?

Answer: The Responsible Care Global Charter is an agreement achieved among leading chemical companies and federa ons that form the Interna onal Council of Chemical Associa ons (ICCA) to create a common global vision for Responsible Care and to improve the environmental, health and safety performance of chemical producers in the more than 60 na ons that currently implement the ini a ve. The Charter addresses ongoing stakeholder expecta ons, responds to evolving challenges and enables the industry to speak with a common voice on the global commitments it has made.

What are the speci c objec ves of the Charter?

Answer: The Charter ar culates a set of six commitments for signatory companies. They include: Corporate Leadership Culture; Safeguarding People and the Environment; Strengthening Chemicals Management Systems; In uencing Business Partners; Engaging Stakeholders; and Contribu ng to Sustainability. By ful lling these commitments worldwide, chemical companies demonstrate their leadership of the Responsible Care ethic and its goals of con nuous performance improvement and responsiveness to the public.

What is the di erence between the original (2006) version of the Charter and this new (2014) version?

The 2006 version of the Responsible Care Global Charter was intended to address both

trade associa on and individual company roles in suppor ng Responsible Care. By blurring the lines between trade associa on responsibili es and those of individual companies, stakeholders, both internal and external, found it di cult to determine accountabili es and assess progress for certain aspects of the original Charter. ICCA has revised the Charter and it speci cally focuses on the roles, responsibili es and accountabili es of global chemical companies in support of Responsible Care. Addi onally, the revised Charter speci cally focuses on key aspects of company opera ons including process safety and security. These companies are expected to implement Responsible Care in their own organiza ons and lead implementa on e orts worldwide consistent with the Charter elements.

What is expected of a signatory company?

Answer: Signing the Charter is a demonstra- on of CEO-level commitment to Responsible

Care. A CEO’s signature represents support for Responsible Care principles and prac ces worldwide across all signi cant business ac vi es of the chemical company.

How will the Charter change my exis ng Responsible Care® commitments if I am a global chemical company?

Answer: There are no immediate changes to exis ng Responsible Care commitments. The Charter and its six elements are an ongoing pledge and are consistent with current ICCA policies and Responsible Care program elements found in the ICCA Responsible Care Fundamental Features. Charter signatories

7. RCLG Performance Trends

Bradford Johnson provided a comprehensive update on Responsible Care implementa on




commit to conduc ng internal assessments of their prac ces worldwide and to implement Responsible Care as it is prac ced in the countries where they par cipate in the program.

What will be the process for addressing the chemicals management aspects of the Charter?

Answer: The Charter commits signatories to manage products consistent with ICCA’s Global Product Strategy (GPS) which was also adopted by ICCA in 2006. Under GPS, companies implement risk-based chemicals management systems and policies and commit to sharing informa on on the safety of products with their commercial partners and the general public. Each ICCA federa on has developed a GPS implementa on plan for its member companies which include signatories to the Global Charter.

What speci c ac ons will be taken to integrate Responsible Care with value chain ac vi es?

Answer: Individual companies are expected to undertake speci c ac ons to extend Responsible Care principles and prac ces including safe management of chemicals through the value chain. These ac vi es will be developed in the context of each company’s value chain and will recognize the appropriate and dis nc ve needs of companies to improve performance and safe management of chemicals across the value chain. Implementa on of improvement opportuni es should be consistent with ICCA’s Global Product Strategy and na onal Responsible Care program requirements.

How does the Global Charter address process safety management issues? How does the Charter address security management issues?

Answer: The Charter commits signatories to “Safeguard People and the Environment” by

con nuously improving environment, health and safety performance. This commitment to performance improvement extends to workplace opera ons, both occupa onal and process safety, and the security of company facili es and products in the value chain.

How is sustainable development or sustainability addressed in the Global Charter? What are the next steps that will be taken to demonstrate the industry’s contribu on to sustainable development?

Answer: Sustainable development consists of a set of principles, policies and prac ces aimed at achieving economic, environmental and societal progress that bene ts future genera ons without compromising the needs of the present genera on. The ICCA has ac vely par cipated in a dialogue on this topic for many years and achieved acceptance from the United Na ons and other stakeholders that Responsible Care is a means through which the chemical industry will contribute to sustainable development. The Charter advances this commitment through the con nua on of prac cal steps that improve performance in the areas of greenhouse gas emissions and the e cient use of resources including energy, raw materials and water; expanding economic opportuni es; and developing solu ons to societal challenges. For addi onal informa on on sustainable development, see ICCA’s publica on “Responsible Care’s Contribu on to Sustainable Development,” dated June 2010.

When will the revised Charter become a public document?

Answer: ICCA will announce the revised Charter in June 2015 to coincide with the United Na ons Environment Programme’s (UNEP) ICCM-4 event. It will be available on ICCA’s website (www.icca-chem.org) as well as those of its member federa ons.

7ANNUAL REPORT 2015


Who is expected to sign the Charter, and what are the legal and Responsible Care®

implica ons for the signatories?

Answer: CEOs of global chemical companies (those opera ng in more than one country) that belong to ICCA and/or ICCA-a liated trade associa ons will be asked to sign the Charter at its headquarters loca on. Only one signed copy of the Charter will be requested from each global company. The global CEO will sign on behalf of the worldwide chemical business opera ons and submit its declara on le er to the trade associa on in the country where the company is headquartered. The associa ons will manage this process and seek CEO signatures. The names of CEOs signing the Charter will be made public as part of ICCA’s plan to publicly release the Charter. The Charter establishes no new legal or Responsible Care requirements for the company.

What are the requirements for charter signatories with respect to par cipa on in local associa ons?

The Charter’s Corporate Leadership Culture element calls on signatories to provide leadership and resources to “par cipate in na onal Responsible Care programs where the company has signi cant business ac vi es.” ICCA does not de ne “signi cant business ac vi es” for signatories. Each company must determine for itself what level of ac vity necessitates par cipa on in a local Responsible Care program. Regardless of whether the signatory par cipates in a local program, the Charter commits the company to “implement Responsible Care principles and prac ces wherever the company manufactures or sells products.”

How can I stay informed about ongoing Charter-related ac vi es?

Answer: ICCA’s Responsible Care Leadership Group, and na onal associa ons, will periodically update their membership and all Responsible Care professionals on Charter ac vi es. In addi on, the ICCA’s Responsible Care web site will provide ongoing updates of ac vi es related to Charter implementa on. The website already provides associa ons and companies a wealth of informa on on the countries that par cipate in Responsible Care, the core elements of their programs and contact informa on.

Are there major di erences in Responsible Care implementa on requirements in various countries? Does the Charter eliminate the ability for Responsible Care programs around the world to be tailored to regional needs?

Answer: Responsible Care has evolved as a global ini a ve over nearly three decades. There are di ering requirements for Responsible Care par cipa on and performance within na onal associa ons, but each associa on must conform to a set of eight Fundamental Features established by ICCA. The Charter reinforces commitments to these Fundamental Features by encouraging par cipa on in na onal Responsible Care programs wherever companies have signi cant business ac vi es. The Charter does not alter the Fundamental Features nor diminish local exibility in developing a Responsible Care program in order to account for the dis nc ve aspects of na onal laws and cultures and di ering business needs.

the currently expected melines – mandatory KPI repor ng on process safety events (PSEs) starts in 2021 in the original proposal but the board requested to consider earlier ming, i.e. the mandatory KPI repor ng starts in 2019.

Some concerns were expressed from the par cipants about smooth implementa on of PSE repor ng – one is possible discrepancies in de ni ons and/or thresholds between current PSM used in each associa on and the new ICCA-PSM and the other is possible technical di cul es in some types of industries, in par cular, SMEs just having very simple processes. The secretariat expressed its inten on to gather voices of APRO members to improve the PSM implementa on guidelines, a dra of which may be circulated in next month and also encouraged members to take an opportunity to directly make comments such as RCLG conference calls. Upon sugges on to share informa on on the process safety indicators currently used in each associa on, the secretariat will make necessary arrangements.

The group also shared informa on about the current status on RC Global Charter signatory outreach.

Process Safety is one of important pillar in industrial process such as chemical industry. The RCI collaborated with DuPont Sustainable Solu on (DSS) organized FGD on Process Safety took place on 30 April 2015 in PT Nippon Shokubai Indonesia, at Cilegon site. This important event par cipated by 22 par cipants from 12 RCI member companies. Most of par cipants were Plant Managers who are very concern on the update of Process Safety.

Responsible Care®: “The Process Safety Code sets forth this collec ve commitment to a culture of process safety throughout chemical facility processing opera ons, management systems and leadership organiza ons”.

Objec ve of FGD on Process Safety DuPont Sustainable Solu on (DSS) shared DuPont’s experience in implemen ng Process Safety through interac ve discussion. The session would be bene cial to all RCI members to understand concept of process safety and how to implement it e ec vely. Mr. Animan Inoe from the DSS facilitated the session. As the session facilitator he had delivered through an interac ve discussion, and request par cipants who mostly Plant Managers as they have common perspec ve and concerns in respect to opera on and safety.

Highlight of the FGD on Process SafetyPSM is de ned as: Applica on of management systems and controls (programs, procedures, audits, evalua ons) to a manufacturing process

in a way that Process Hazards are iden ed, understood, and controlled so that process related injuries and incidents are prevented. Implementa on of PSM requires a sustained e ort by leadership at all levels.

Process Hazard is the poten al for serious injury, signi cant environmental harm or signi cant property damage. Process Hazards can usually be classi ed as one (or more) of the following generic poten al events: •Explosion e ects; •Thermal exposure;•Acute toxic exposure; •Serious injury fromspecial mechanical hazard; •Serious Injury form special electrical hazard

PSM and Workplace Safety• Both require management commitment

and constancy of purpose.• Workplace Safety incidents result from

frequently performed individual ac onsthat may lead to personal injury and islargely focused on ac ons of individuals (trips, falls, cuts..).

• Failures of PSM can result in infrequent oreven rare but catastrophic incidents withmul ple injuries, fatali es and community

and environmental impact. It is focused on the func oning of processes and systems (process hazards, mechanical integrity of systems etc.).

A. BEST PRACTICE SHARING AND BUILDING CAPACITY E. ICCA – RCLG AND APRO

African associa on, Chemical and Allied Industry Associa on (CAIA) hope to get commitments from Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania by the end of 2015. Monthly updates should begin in June/July. Dan Roczniak gave a brief update on what is going on in Egypt. Due to the state of unrest progress is slow.

Responsible Care and Sustainable Development / SustainabilitySjoerd Looijs gave an overview of the achievements made in Europe. CEFIC is made up of 28 associa ons and can be looked at by dividing it into Eastern Europe and Western Europe. The priori es across Europe are di erent, so associa ons have slightly di erent goals and standards. The business value of Responsible Care has to be made more a rac ve to countries, since some countries view Sustainability as the goal rather than full implementa on of Responsible Care. SWOT analysis provided informa on to Ce c, Ce c makes up almost half of the RCLG associa ons but par cipa on needs to be raised. Responsible Care and Sustainability have teamed up together because of their stakeholders’ requests. Developing plans for the future and a Responsible Care vision of the future is a simple ques on with a di cult answer. The link between Responsible Care and sustainability needs to be clari ed and support emerging economies.

Ac on Item: Debra Phillips will lead the sustainability discussion in South Africa, if anyone has topical informa on please provide it to her.

Responsible Care Regional Update: IndiaDan Roczniak began this presenta on discussing the background on the progress in India. Responsible Care in India is a volunteered program with 121 members, 38 of which are logo holders. India has had several chemical companies sign on to the Global Charter and recently had another set of signatures con rmed. ICC has created a mentorship program to assist companies while going through the audit program. Training, workshops, seminars, and collabora ons with

other countries and companies have been completed in the last year and more are planned for 2015. An addi onal project called Nicer Globe, which is a 24/7 emergency centre, is being developed and will enable the chemical industry to track informa on assist in emergencies. The issue of security is being addressed and they are developing a code that may be rolled out by the end of 2015 and would become a part of the program. The government in India is engaging with ICC on items like safety and security. H. Korte also discussed the recently approved MOU between ACC and ICC which will help them nish their ICCA Board approved workplan set to be complete in 2016.

Subsidiary companies can sign the Charter but only a er the main company has signed on already. Names and posi on of the Charter signatory need to be provided along with the signed Charter in order for the company to be listed on the Signatory list. The tracking sheet was reviewed, there are three tabs on the tracking sheet: the rst tab are the top 150 companies, the second is the top companies that are eligible to sign the Charter due to par cipa on in their HQ’s local Responsible Care program, the third tab shows all the other companies who have signed but are below the top 150 chemical companies. The signatures should be collected and submi ed by the beginning of September for ICCM 4. France gave an example of how they only have one document for companies to sign. The group discussed the project that was started several years ago to reach out to companies who have signed onto the Global Signed but are not a part of local associa ons where they have a presence. If you have changes to the target list, please let Bradford Johnson know.

Ac on Item: Review and discuss having chemical manufactures and other companies on di erent tracking sheet & signatory lists

Ac on Item: The RCLG should again review companies who are not par cipa ng in RC in local associa ons but have presence and have signed onto the Global Charter

Responsible Care Capacity BuildingBradford Johnson and Debbie Jackson gave some informa on on the status of Capacity Building and ways to use the reports and informa on received from the funding. Twenty three (23) applica ons were approved for funding in 2015. B. Johnson reviewed the special projects which included Egypt, for whom funding has been earmarked, and the La n American Network which is a new group that will be working with one another to build Responsible Care in their areas. There are three “expansion areas” that also received special funding: Africa, China, and India.

D. Jackson posed some ques ons to the group on Capacity Building. She reviewed the informa on that is required to be submi ed once funding has been provided and used by the associa on. D. Jackson will be able to take the reports from previous years and create a summary that can be used by other associa ons. The feedback from these reports could be helpful for other associa ons. The idea of invi ng associa ons to present who had success in using the funding was discussed and supported. The RCLG will generate a library sec on where “excellent prac ces” can be stored for others to see and use.

Ac on Item: Debbie Jackson and Bradford Johnson are to generate a Capacity Building Summary Report for the RCLG to review by the October Mee ng in Cape Town

• The Process Safety KPI should be simpleand exible as a good basis of mandatoryrequirement. It can be also complicatedbut such complication should be optional.The concerns on how to collect data fromSMEs should also be considered.

• The classi cation criteria applied forchemical release should be based on GHSas it is globally recognized system.

• The certain transition period forimplementation of Process Safety KPIshould be granted to national associationssince most of our members are not awareof such new KPI to be collected.

Below summary of the topics during two day event of the Workshop:

of chemistry under the Conven on. The core element of the guidelines, which draw on many exis ng elements, is based on the premise that “achievements in the eld of chemistry should be used to bene t humankind and the environment”. The guidelines provide a useful framework for deba ng the vital dimension of ethics in rela on to chemical disarmament and non-prolifera on.

The Hague Ethical Guidelines was formally announced to the States Par es of the Chemical Weapons Conven on by the OPCW Director-General in the opening remarks to the 80th session of the Execu ve Council:

The Hague Ethical Guidelines have been made available on the OPCW public website. Jonathan Forman of the OPCW Secretariat encourage all States Par es to share the guidelines with their Na onal Authori es, Ministries of Educa on, educa onal ins tu ons, scien c communi es and other stakeholders to advance understanding of the importance of nurturing responsible and ethical scien c development among chemistry professionals (EC-80/DG.24, Dated 6 October 2015, paragraph 17).

This report summarizes the second Workshop on Ethical Guidelines for the Prac ce of Chemistry under the Norms of the Chemical Weapons Conven on (CWC), held from 17-18 September 2015 at the Organiza on for the Prohibi on of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Headquarters in The Hague, The Netherlands and chaired by Professor Alejandra G. Suárez.

Thirty-three chemistry prac oners, with representa on from all regional groups arrived at a consensus text, The Hague Ethical Guidelines, 1 and discussed how these guidelines could be taken forward. The guidelines are the outcome of an ini a ve originally proposed by the permanent representa on of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Nineteenth Conference of States Par es to the Chemical Weapons Conven on. 2 The Hague Ethical Guidelines, the outcome of this workshop, have been made publically available so that all chemistry prac oners can reference them and consider their use in ini a ves and educa on related to the responsible prac ce of chemistry and ethical considera ons of the norms of the CWC. This report summarizes the workshop and its recommenda ons.

including RCI member companies. We realize that energy management becomes important of the Responsible Care program. EnMs closely related to Process Safety. In designing equipment energy considera ons become one of the important points. E cient equipment performance, will guarantee the performance of Process Safety.

Roadmap of JCIA support ac vi esRCI understood the JCIA Roadmap. The status of Indonesia (RCI) is between Advance and Follow-up. To reach the stage of ASEAN Expert Commi ee, through the establishment of na onal WG and clari ed with the training guide.

Session 1 (Safety Awareness Training)RCI agreed with the concept that Process Safety in Chemical Industry to consider and in uence the Design, Management and Worker Behavior. This topic highlight the Risk of chemical and poten al risk at the workplace.

Session 2 (Process Safety Metrics) RCI welcomes ICCA-RCLG posi ve decision on the implementa on of Process Safety Process Safety Metrics Event (PSE) for KPI Report, in which it decided to compromise by using a threshold in accordance with the API RP 754 (designated Tier-2 only), or use threshold according to GHS classi ca on. There are a few condi ons and challenges today:• The possibility of policy di erences

between the mother company by decision of the ICCA-RCLG.

• Gap between large industry (advancedprocess) with the SME (simple process)

• In the view of RCI, the condi on inIndonesia is more familiar with the GHScompared with API RP754.

Session 3 (Earthquake disaster in Japan in 2011)RCI member companies as most of Indonesian people are very concerned and sympathy over the tragic disaster in Japan. The presenta on of this topic became a very valuable lesson, where the recovery opera on of the plant took place very quickly, in normal opera on.

Session 4 (Best Prac ce Sharing by Indonesian Company)Appreciate to BP Petrochemical Indonesia on best prac ce on Process Safety Management at the company.

Session 5 (Best Prac ce of Process Safety in Japan - Lessons learned from the serious recent accident)Japanese companies have implemented 5S concept very well. By 5S we can know the poten al danger that it becomes “Basic Safety”. In Indonesia, this concept has been adopted by na onal companies as well as other companies including non Japanese Mul Na onal Companies. (SZ)

Introduc on and Purpose

The second Workshop on Ethical Guidelines for the Prac ce of Chemistry under the Norms of the Chemical Weapons Conven on (CWC) con nued the work started in March 2015 to take forward a proposal by the permanent representa on of the Federal Republic of Germany. This ini a ve to the Nineteenth Conference of States Par es (CSP-19) to the Chemical Weapons Conven on called for a text of ethical guidelines for chemical professionals related to the Conven on. From the States Par es of the CWC, The Conference welcomed the ini a ve for a text of ethical guidelines for chemical professionals related to the Conven on and invited the Secretariat to inform the Council of its e orts for the advancement of the ini a ve and its objec ves in close collabora on with relevant professional and chemical industry organiza ons. The Conference encouraged States Par es to discuss the ma er further.

The rst workshop held from 10-11 March 2015, included eighteen par cipants represen ng academia, industry and chemical socie es. The workshop reviewed previous and current ethical code ini a ves, was briefed on experiences from the Biological and Toxin Weapons Conven on (BTWC) and the par cipants were provided with a chemical industry perspec ve. Key elements of CWC relevant ethical guidelines, principles and best prac ces for dra ing guidelines, and synergy with other current ini a ves were discussed. A report from this workshop is available on the

OPCW public website. A Steering Commi ee of ve par cipants from the March workshop prepared dra text to be further considered by a larger group.

This group met from 17-18 September 2015 in The Hague, at the second workshop on Ethical Guidelines for the Prac ce of Chemistry under the Norms of the CWC. Thirty-three par cipants, chemistry prac oners from all regional groups, were in a endance; including een of the original eighteen par cipants of the rst workshop. Working itera vely and in breakout groups addressing di erent thema c elements, the workshop arrived at a consensus text, The Hague Ethical Guidelines, and discussed recommenda ons for taking these guidelines forward.

The OPCW facilitated two workshops involving a group of more than 30 scien sts and chemistry professionals from over 20 countries, including all regional groups, to discuss and dra possible ethical guidelines for the prac ce of chemistry under the norms of the Conven on. The workshops were held on 10-11 March and 17-18 September 2015 at OPCW Headquarters in The Hague, and were chaired by Professor Alejandra Suárez of Argen na.

As an outcome of the workshops, The Hague Ethical Guidelines were dra ed, intended to serve as elements for ethical codes and discussion points for ethical issues related to the prac ce

With the mul -year authoriza on established by the Protec ng and Securing Chemical Facili es from Terrorist A acks Act (CFATS Act of 2014), many of this year’s sessions featured discussions on the current success and con nued matura on of the CFATS program, including a CFATS update by David Wulf, Director of the Infrastructure Compliance Security Division, which leads the implementa on of the program. CFATS is an important part of our na on’s counterterrorism e orts as we work with our industry stakeholders to

keep dangerous chemicals out of the hands of those who wish to do us harm. Since the CFATS program was created, DHS has ac vely engaged with industry to iden fy and work with high-risk chemical facili es to ensure they have security measures in place to reduce the risks associated with the possession of chemicals of interest. While there is s ll work to be done, DHS has approved site security plans for nearly two-thirds of the highest-risk regulated facili es.

Industry is represented by more than a dozen federa ons in Washington. American Chemistry Council (ACC) is the oldest trade associa on in North America, founded in 1872, and now become a primary trade associa on for the chemical industry in the US, formerly named as US Chemical Manufacturer Associa on (US-CMA). Currently 160 members of ACC represen ng around 85% of US chemical produc on by volume, approximately 185 full- me and part- me sta at headquarters and four small regional o ces.

The ACC Mission “Deliver business value through excep onal advocacy at all levels of government”. Dan explained what makes ACC successful? The answer, because ACC play role:

• Ac ve, visible and e ec ve CEO leadership.• Consensus-driven approach on policy

decisions.• A en on to the needs of small- and medium-

size companies (SMEs).• Realiza on that our industry is under scru ny

and we must meet and exceed societalexpecta ons.

• Commitment of company resources.

What is Responsible Care Partners? Responsible Care partners are Companies that do not manufacture chemicals, but take possession of chemicals in the supply chain and, meet the same Responsible Care requirements as member companies. ACC established RC Partners in 1993, ini ally open to companies that take physical possession of chemicals in supply chain and now expanded to third-party logis cs, hazmat response, equipment manufacturers and total number of partners now 105. Partner’s obliga on: Sign Guiding Principles; Report Metrics; Responsible Care Management System; Process Safety Code; Security Code; Product Safety Code and Third-Party Cer ca on

The outcome of the seminar, highlight two focuses on the development of Responsible Care Distribu on Code (Safety Distribu on), and the implementa on of Responsible Care in SMEs. For the implementa on of these two programs in 2016, RCI will collaborate with the ACC. (SZ)

The dynamic threat environment was a focus of day two, with presenters from the DHS O ce of Intelligence & Analysis and the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) brie ng par cipants on homegrown violent extremism, domes c terrorism, and cyber threats to industrial control systems. These brie ngs set the stage for the 2015 Chemical Sector Security Plan, which underscores the ongoing collabora on between government and industry to ensure chemical facili es are secure and resilient. The plan features voluntary risk management ac ons, informa on sharing ac vi es, interna onal engagement, and training and exercises. These ini a ves and preparedness e orts describe ac onable measures to manage risks and mi gate disrup ons.



The annual Chemical Sector Security Summit (the Summit) is an industry-wide networking and educa onal event co-sponsored each year by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Chemical Sector Coordina ng Council (SCC). The Chemical SCC, which consists of 16 chemical trade associa ons that connect to approximately 95 percent of the na on’s chemical facility owners and operators, works closely to host the event with DHS.

A diverse group of top-level private sector and government leaders, including senior DHS o cials, congressional sta , and senior government o cials from federal agencies that comprise the Chemical Government Coordina ng Council (GCC); interna onal par cipants; and members of the na onal media a end this yearly landmark industry event. The Summit provides a forum for representa ves from the chemical community to exchange informa on, network with other security professionals, share best prac ces,

minimization of significant adverse effects on human health and the

environment, using transparent science-based risk assessment

procedures and science-based risk management procedures"



The RCI established GPS Working Group in September 2013. Today the ac vity of the working group con nuous to nalize the GPS Guidance Book based on ICCA-GPS Guidelines, targeted to be completed by 2016. Currently GPS Safety Summary s ll under discussion and focused only 2 (two) substances: Acrylic Acid & Sulfuric Acid. Target uploaded to ICCA-GPS portal in middle of 2016, the other substances will be added to upload at least 5 substances in the end of 2016. Next regular mee ng will be arranged in monthly basis to speed-up establishment of GPS Guidance comple on and to prepare upload GPS Safety Summary. So far only one company from Indonesia, i.e., PT Kao Indonesia Chemicals has submi ed GPS-SS to ICCA GPS Portal.

operators of cri cal infrastructure and as a fundamental part of the Na on’s economy.

The dynamic threat environment was a focus of day two, with presenters from the DHS O ce of Intelligence & Analysis and the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) brie ng par cipants on homegrown violent extremism, domes c terrorism, and cyber threats to industrial control systems. These brie ngs set the stage for the 2015 Chemical Sector Security Plan, which underscores the ongoing collabora on between government and industry to ensure chemical facili es are secure and resilient. The plan features voluntary risk management ac ons, informa on sharing ac vi es, interna onal engagement, and training and exercises. These ini a ves and preparedness e orts describe ac onable measures to manage risks and mi gate disrup ons.




With the mul -year authoriza on established by the Protec ng and Securing Chemical Facili es

With the mul -year authoriza on established by the Protec ng and Securing Chemical Facili es from Terrorist A acks Act (CFATS Act of 2014), many of this year’s sessions featured discussions on the current success and con nued matura on of the CFATS program, including a CFATS update by David Wulf, Director of the Infrastructure Compliance Security Division, which leads the implementa on of the program. CFATS is an important part of our na on’s counterterrorism e orts as we work with our industry stakeholders to

keep dangerous chemicals out of the hands of those who wish to do us harm. Since the CFATS program was created, DHS has ac vely engaged with industry to iden fy and work with high-risk chemical facili es to ensure they have security measures in place to reduce the risks associated with the possession of chemicals of interest. While there is s ll work to be done, DHS has approved site security plans for nearly two-thirds of the highest-risk regulated facili es.

Introduc on and Purpose

The second Workshop on Ethical Guidelines for the Prac ce of Chemistry under the Norms of the Chemical Weapons Conven on (CWC) con nued the work started in March 2015 to take forward a proposal by the permanent representa on of the Federal Republic of Germany. This ini a ve to the Nineteenth Conference of States Par es (CSP-19) to the Chemical Weapons Conven on called for a text of ethical guidelines for chemical professionals related to the Conven on. From the States Par es of the CWC, The Conference welcomed the ini a ve for a text of ethical guidelines for chemical professionals related to the Conven on and invited the Secretariat to inform the Council of its e orts for the advancement of the ini a ve and its objec ves in close collabora on with relevant professional and chemical industry organiza ons. The Conference encouraged States Par es to discuss the ma er further.

The rst workshop held from 10-11 March 2015, included eighteen par cipants represen ng academia, industry and chemical socie es. The workshop reviewed previous and current ethical code ini a ves, was briefed on experiences from the Biological and Toxin Weapons Conven on (BTWC) and the par cipants were provided with a chemical industry perspec ve. Key elements of CWC relevant ethical guidelines, principles and best prac ces for dra ing guidelines, and synergy with other current ini a ves were discussed. A report from this workshop is available on the

OPCW public website. A Steering Commi ee of ve par cipants from the March workshop prepared dra text to be further considered by a larger group.

This group met from 17-18 September 2015 in The Hague, at the second workshop on Ethical Guidelines for the Prac ce of Chemistry under the Norms of the CWC. Thirty-three par cipants, chemistry prac oners from all regional groups, were in a endance; including een of the original eighteen par cipants of the rst workshop. Working itera vely and in breakout groups addressing di erent thema c elements, the workshop arrived at a consensus text, The Hague Ethical Guidelines, and discussed recommenda ons for taking these guidelines forward.

The OPCW facilitated two workshops involving a group of more than 30 scien sts and chemistry professionals from over 20 countries, including all regional groups, to discuss and dra possible ethical guidelines for the prac ce of chemistry under the norms of the Conven on. The workshops were held on 10-11 March and 17-18 September 2015 at OPCW Headquarters in The Hague, and were chaired by Professor Alejandra Suárez of Argen na.

As an outcome of the workshops, The Hague Ethical Guidelines were dra ed, intended to serve as elements for ethical codes and discussion points for ethical issues related to the prac ce

of chemistry under the Conven on. The core element of the guidelines, which draw on many exis ng elements, is based on the premise that “achievements in the eld of chemistry should be used to bene t humankind and the environment”. The guidelines provide a useful framework for deba ng the vital dimension of ethics in rela on to chemical disarmament and non-prolifera on.

The Hague Ethical Guidelines was formally announced to the States Par es of the Chemical Weapons Conven on by the OPCW Director-General in the opening remarks to the 80th session of the Execu ve Council:

The Hague Ethical Guidelines have been made available on the OPCW public website. Jonathan Forman of the OPCW Secretariat encourage all States Par es to share the guidelines with their Na onal Authori es, Ministries of Educa on, educa onal ins tu ons, scien c communi es and other stakeholders to advance understanding of the importance of nurturing responsible and ethical scien c development among chemistry professionals (EC-80/DG.24, Dated 6 October 2015, paragraph 17).

This report summarizes the second Workshop on Ethical Guidelines for the Prac ce of Chemistry under the Norms of the Chemical Weapons Conven on (CWC), held from 17-18 September 2015 at the Organiza on for the Prohibi on of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Headquarters in The Hague, The Netherlands and chaired by Professor Alejandra G. Suárez.

Thirty-three chemistry prac oners, with representa on from all regional groups arrived at a consensus text, The Hague Ethical Guidelines, 1 and discussed how these guidelines could be taken forward. The guidelines are the outcome of an ini a ve originally proposed by the permanent representa on of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Nineteenth Conference of States Par es to the Chemical Weapons Conven on. 2 The Hague Ethical Guidelines, the outcome of this workshop, have been made publically available so that all chemistry prac oners can reference them and consider their use in ini a ves and educa on related to the responsible prac ce of chemistry and ethical considera ons of the norms of the CWC. This report summarizes the workshop and its recommenda ons.

including RCI member companies. We realize that energy management becomes important of the Responsible Care program. EnMs closely related to Process Safety. In designing equipment energy considera ons become one of the important points. E cient equipment performance, will guarantee the performance of Process Safety.

Roadmap of JCIA support ac vi esRCI understood the JCIA Roadmap. The status of Indonesia (RCI) is between Advance and Follow-up. To reach the stage of ASEAN Expert Commi ee, through the establishment of na onal WG and clari ed with the training guide.

Session 1 (Safety Awareness Training)RCI agreed with the concept that Process Safety in Chemical Industry to consider and in uence the Design, Management and Worker Behavior. This topic highlight the Risk of chemical and poten al risk at the workplace.

Session 2 (Process Safety Metrics) RCI welcomes ICCA-RCLG posi ve decision on the implementa on of Process Safety Process Safety Metrics Event (PSE) for KPI Report, in which it decided to compromise by using a threshold in accordance with the API RP 754 (designated Tier-2 only), or use threshold according to GHS classi ca on. There are a few condi ons and challenges today:• The possibility of policy di erences

between the mother company by decision of the ICCA-RCLG.

• Gap between large industry (advancedprocess) with the SME (simple process)

• In the view of RCI, the condi on inIndonesia is more familiar with the GHScompared with API RP754.

Session 3 (Earthquake disaster in Japan in 2011)RCI member companies as most of Indonesian people are very concerned and sympathy over the tragic disaster in Japan. The presenta on of this topic became a very valuable lesson, where the recovery opera on of the plant took place very quickly, in normal opera on.

Session 4 (Best Prac ce Sharing by Indonesian Company)Appreciate to BP Petrochemical Indonesia on best prac ce on Process Safety Management at the company.

Session 5 (Best Prac ce of Process Safety in Japan - Lessons learned from the serious recent accident)Japanese companies have implemented 5S concept very well. By 5S we can know the poten al danger that it becomes “Basic Safety”. In Indonesia, this concept has been adopted by na onal companies as well as other companies including non Japanese Mul Na onal Companies. (SZ)



The 2ND WORKSHOP ON PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENTCon nuous collabora on between RCI and JCIA, supported by ICCA-RCLG

BSD City, Serpong Banten & Cilegon, 8 – 9 September 2015

As a continuation of the Process Safety Workshop last year on September 24, 2014, in Jakarta, RCI collaborated with the JCIA held 2nd Workshop on Process Safety Management took place on 8 September 2015 in BSD City, Serpong, Banten and continued with Company visit to PT Asahimas Chemical in Cilegon on September 9, 2015. JCIA prepare courses of awareness and advanced and follow-up courses. Each course includes design and management and human behavior items based on process safety. On last workshop JCIA introduced the accident history in Japan and typical big accidents of chemical plants and showed JCIA activities. This time JCIA prepares based on request of RCI and JCIA’s worksheet table.

Par cipants learned from 2nd Workshop on Process Safety Management i.e., measures for Process Safety and Disaster Preven on at JCIA Member Companies as well as future needs for safety in the process industry; di eren a on between process safety and personal (occupa onal) safety; Improved safety culture management and new approaches to handle. Future Trend in Process Safety is very important to prevent disaster and improve industry performance, means improve produc vity and quality. The ICCA Board recently has approved the (New) Process Safety Metric to be implemented soon

(possibly start in 2016/2017) and submi ed as KPI report; APRO members including RCI will be facing many challenges. We expect the following will be considered in implementa on of PS-KPI:

• The Process Safety KPI should be simpleand exible as a good basis of mandatoryrequirement. It can be also complicatedbut such complication should be optional.The concerns on how to collect data fromSMEs should also be considered.

• The classi cation criteria applied forchemical release should be based on GHSas it is globally recognized system.

• The certain transition period forimplementation of Process Safety KPIshould be granted to national associationssince most of our members are not awareof such new KPI to be collected.

Below summary of the topics during two day event of the Workshop:

(CIAC) is celebra ng 30 years of Responsible Care. To commemorate this achievement, CIAC developed a video about the 30th Anniversary. It shows Responsible Care commitment from the CEO level and from long standing CIAC sta , highligh ng the past achievements and sharing hopes for the future. The video was also produced in French. Please see Bob Masterson for details on the video.

2014 Responsible Care Global Charter – Update

Debra Phillips updated the group current status for collec ng to the 2014 Global Charter as well as the updated FAQ’s. The goal is to collect signatures from 90% of the top 108 chemical companies, who are eligible and par cipa ng. Currently, as of April 17th, we are at 200 signatures ranging from small to large companies. We have around 50% of the top companies.

Subsidiary companies can sign the Charter but only a er the main company has signed on already. Names and posi on of the Charter signatory need to be provided along with the signed Charter in order for the company to be listed on the Signatory list. The tracking sheet was reviewed, there are three tabs on the tracking sheet: the rst tab are the top 150 companies, the second is the top companies that are eligible to sign the Charter due to par cipa on in their HQ’s local Responsible Care program, the third tab shows all the other companies who have signed but are below the top 150 chemical companies. The signatures should be collected and submi ed by the beginning of September for ICCM 4. France gave an example of how they only have one document for companies to sign. The group discussed the project that was started several years ago to reach out to companies who have signed onto the Global Signed but are not a part of local associa ons where they have a presence. If you have changes to the target list, please let Bradford Johnson know.

Ac on Item: Review and discuss having chemical manufactures and other companies on di erent tracking sheet & signatory lists

Ac on Item: The RCLG should again review companies who are not par cipa ng in RC in local associa ons but have presence and have signed onto the Global Charter

Responsible Care Capacity BuildingBradford Johnson and Debbie Jackson gave some informa on on the status of Capacity Building and ways to use the reports and informa on received from the funding. Twenty three (23) applica ons were approved for funding in 2015. B. Johnson reviewed the special projects which included Egypt, for whom funding has been earmarked, and the La n American Network which is a new group that will be working with one another to build Responsible Care in their areas. There are three “expansion areas” that also received special funding: Africa, China, and India.

D. Jackson posed some ques ons to the group on Capacity Building. She reviewed the informa on that is required to be submi ed once funding has been provided and used by the associa on. D. Jackson will be able to take the reports from previous years and create a summary that can be used by other associa ons. The feedback from these reports could be helpful for other associa ons. The idea of invi ng associa ons to present who had success in using the funding was discussed and supported. The RCLG will generate a library sec on where “excellent prac ces” can be stored for others to see and use.

Ac on Item: Debbie Jackson and Bradford Johnson are to generate a Capacity Building Summary Report for the RCLG to review by the October Mee ng in Cape Town

Ac on Item: Build a sec on in the RCLG library where Capacity Building reports can be stored by the October Mee ng in Cape Town

Par cipants of FGD on Process Safety Management in PT Nippon Shokubai Indonesia, Cilegon, Banten, 30 April 2015



Process Safety is one of important pillar in industrial process such as chemical industry. The RCI collaborated with DuPont Sustainable Solu on (DSS) organized FGD on Process Safety took place on 30 April 2015 in PT Nippon Shokubai Indonesia, at Cilegon site. This important event par cipated by 22 par cipants from 12 RCI member companies. Most of par cipants were Plant Managers who are very concern on the update of Process Safety.

Responsible Care®: “The Process Safety Code sets forth this collec ve commitment to a culture of process safety throughout chemical facility processing opera ons, management systems and leadership organiza ons”.

Objec ve of FGD on Process Safety DuPont Sustainable Solu on (DSS) shared DuPont’s experience in implemen ng Process Safety through interac ve discussion. The session would be bene cial to all RCI members to understand concept of process safety and how to implement it e ec vely. Mr. Animan Inoe from the DSS facilitated the session. As the session facilitator he had delivered through an interac ve discussion, and request par cipants who mostly Plant Managers as they have common perspec ve and concerns in respect to opera on and safety.

Highlight of the FGD on Process SafetyPSM is de ned as: Applica on of management systems and controls (programs, procedures, audits, evalua ons) to a manufacturing process

in a way that Process Hazards are iden ed, understood, and controlled so that process related injuries and incidents are prevented. Implementa on of PSM requires a sustained e ort by leadership at all levels.

Process Hazard is the poten al for serious injury, signi cant environmental harm or signi cant property damage. Process Hazards can usually be classi ed as one (or more) of the following generic poten al events: •Explosion e ects; •Thermal exposure;•Acute toxic exposure; •Serious injury fromspecial mechanical hazard; •Serious Injury form special electrical hazard

PSM and Workplace Safety• Both require management commitment

and constancy of purpose.• Workplace Safety incidents result from

frequently performed individual ac onsthat may lead to personal injury and islargely focused on ac ons of individuals (trips, falls, cuts..).

• Failures of PSM can result in infrequent oreven rare but catastrophic incidents withmul ple injuries, fatali es and community

and environmental impact. It is focused on the func oning of processes and systems (process hazards, mechanical integrity of systems etc.).

A. BEST PRACTICE SHARING AND BUILDING CAPACITY E. ICCA – RCLG AND APRO

African associa on, Chemical and Allied Industry Associa on (CAIA) hope to get commitments from Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania by the end of 2015. Monthly updates should begin in June/July. Dan Roczniak gave a brief update on what is going on in Egypt. Due to the state of unrest progress is slow.

Responsible Care and Sustainable Development / SustainabilitySjoerd Looijs gave an overview of the achievements made in Europe. CEFIC is made up of 28 associa ons and can be looked at by dividing it into Eastern Europe and Western Europe. The priori es across Europe are di erent, so associa ons have slightly di erent goals and standards. The business value of Responsible Care has to be made more a rac ve to countries, since some countries view Sustainability as the goal rather than full implementa on of Responsible Care. SWOT analysis provided informa on to Ce c, Ce c makes up almost half of the RCLG associa ons but par cipa on needs to be raised. Responsible Care and Sustainability have teamed up together because of their stakeholders’ requests. Developing plans for the future and a Responsible Care vision of the future is a simple ques on with a di cult answer. The link between Responsible Care and sustainability needs to be clari ed and support emerging economies.

Ac on Item: Debra Phillips will lead the sustainability discussion in South Africa, if anyone has topical informa on please provide it to her.

Responsible Care Regional Update: IndiaDan Roczniak began this presenta on discussing the background on the progress in India. Responsible Care in India is a volunteered program with 121 members, 38 of which are logo holders. India has had several chemical companies sign on to the Global Charter and recently had another set of signatures con rmed. ICC has created a mentorship program to assist companies while going through the audit program. Training, workshops, seminars, and collabora ons with

other countries and companies have been completed in the last year and more are planned for 2015. An addi onal project called Nicer Globe, which is a 24/7 emergency centre, is being developed and will enable the chemical industry to track informa on assist in emergencies. The issue of security is being addressed and they are developing a code that may be rolled out by the end of 2015 and would become a part of the program. The government in India is engaging with ICC on items like safety and security. H. Korte also discussed the recently approved MOU between ACC and ICC which will help them nish their ICCA Board approved workplan set to be complete in 2016.

Ac on Item: These items will be added to the RCLG newsle er

Responsible Care Regional Update: China

CPCIFMadame Zhou began by thanking the group for approving CPCIF in October and suppor ng the associa on. M. Zhou talked about the Global Charter, trainings, and community awareness as they are covered in China. CPCIF has established a Responsible Care website that has been launched. CPCIF currently has 4 signatories and they are working towards ge ng more signatures. M. Zhou also discussed the CPCIF awards program which includes a companywide Responsible Care award, and award for best prac ces, and award for best leaders and the last is an award for best facilitators. M. Zhou also discussed the working group mee ng held in March and their achievements. The working group already has over 100 members who are working on training, keeping up with legisla on, and the transporta on of chemicals. CPCIF is working with the community by communica ng what Responsible Care is through their members and hos ng open houses for the community to tour and understand the industry. Over the past several months they have been planning for the rest of 2015, there will be a conference, working group mee ngs, and a self-evalua on project will begin.


AICMMichel Houmard gave a presenta on on the progress AICM has made over the last year. They are assigning more Responsible Care Coordinators and hos ng more workshops. AICM has put together a graph showing where each company falls with their Responsible Care obliga ons which are for internal use only. AICM is promo ng Responsible Care to the public through various communica ons. Capacity building for non-AICM members is done by hos ng workshops. Funding is needed for the commitment of Responsible Care in China. AICM is trying to create value for its members to increase their par cipa on in Responsible Care. They are moving to peer-to-peer review with the support from the associa on in the UK in a pilot program.

RCISetyabudhi Zuber gave a presenta on on the dissemina on of Chemical Safety and Security program to chemical industry mostly RCI member companies. The program was organized by Responsible Care Indonesia (RCI) collabora on with the Ministry of Industry. Five RCI member companies having headquarter in Indonesia i.e., PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk, PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang, PT Petrokimia Gresik, PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur and PT Kal m Methanol Industry have o cially signed Responsible Care Global Charter on December 18, 2015. This commitment will be a part of support for the ICCA-RCLG in implemen ng Sound Chemical management. RCI also request fund support for 2015 RCLG Capacity Building.

RCLG Communica onsDebbie gave a report on the progress of the Responsible Care Report that is being prepared for the ICCM 4 mee ng. The Global Charter, capacity building, performance repor ng, and new members will be included in the report. Please submit any documents you believe would be good addi ons for the RCLG library. A new tab will be added for Capacity Building documents. The RCLG newsle er, addi on 6, is being worked on and should be ready for distribu on around May meframe.

Bradford Johnson discussed the CEO video project that is currently under development. There are currently about 15 videos/links to videos that will be posted to the RCLG library. The videos are tes monials on Responsible Care or general Responsible Care topics. If you have a video, in any language, please submit to Bradford Johnson. There was a sugges on that the RCLG library could use a search func on.
