Guiding Principles and Codes

Based on the principles of the global Responsible Care programme, HACI has defined 10 guiding principles at national level.

Participation in Responsible Care® is signed by a company’s General Management and involves motivating its personnel to change habits pattern behaviours and improve their performance in addition to communicating relevant results.

The member companies of HACI that endorse their voluntary participation in the Responsible Care® programme commit to conduct business while actively pursuing the ongoing improvement of safety, health and protecting the environment.

In particular, companies required to:

  • implement the 10 guiding principles
