Safety & Security


GCC member companies play a critical role in our nation’s economy and their responsibility to their employees and communities. Safety and security continue to be a top priority for GCC members—including cybersecurity.

This is due to the fact that GCC member companies manufacture products that are critical to the everyday health and well-being of our nation and essential to developing a greener, cleaner, and more competitive economy.

Within months of the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the American Chemistry Council created a stringent, mandatory security program called the Responsible Care® Security Code. Since 9/11/2001, the American Chemistry Council’s members have invested more than $21 billion under the Security Code to further enhance site, transportation, and cyber security at their facilities; the Security Code has become a gold standard for the industry and serves as a model for regulatory programs.
