Commitment to Sustainability & Responsible Care

The SAFECHEM business model is based on the principles of Responsible Care® and Sustainable Development - the balance of environmental, economic and social responsibilities. The closed-loop SAFE-TAINER™ system manages the risks associated with chlorinated solvents, allowing customers to benefit from these solvents long term.

SAFECHEM Europe GmbH is dedicated to meeting the principles of the chemical industry's world-wide Responsible Care initiative. The principles of Responsible Care emphasise the continued improvement in employee health and safety, pollution prevention, process safety, product stewardship, emergency response, transport and community awareness.
