Mindful of its responsibilities as chemical company, the Toagosei Group carries out Responsible Care (RC) activities under the Basic Policies for RC in order to ensure safety (occupational health and safety, process safety and disaster prevention, product safety, and physical distribution safety) and to protect the environment. In accordance with our corporate philosophy and policy of contributing to society by offering useful chemical products, our top priority is to ensure safety of workers and the general public throughout our business activities. Our aim is to reduce the environmental impacts of all our processes from procurement of raw materials to final disposal of products after use.

Responsible Care (RC) activities are voluntary initiatives carried out by companies handling chemical substances to ensure environmental protection and health and safety throughout product life cycles. Companies disclose the results of these activities to communicate with society. Toagosei has been a member of the Japan Responsible Care Council (JRCC) since its establishment by the Japan Chemical Industry Association (JCIA) in 1995. We are promoting RC activities across the entire Group. Toagosei endorsed the Responsible Care Global Charter established by the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) in 2009 and revised in 2014. This endorsement signifies Toagosei's commitment to the proactive promotion of RC activities.
