Responsible Care®
 
KCSR has been a Responsible Care® partner company since 1999.  In 2002, the American Chemistry Council adopted the management system approach for implementing Responsible Care® in the U.S., including mandatory, independent, third-party certification.  KCSR received Responsible Care® Management System (RCMS) certification by formalizing its Health, Safety, Security and Environmental Management System.

RCMS provides a structured framework for assessing needs, setting specific performance goals and sharing information with employees, contractors and the public.  RCMS includes requirements for policy and leadership; planning; implementation; operation and accountability; performance measurement and corrective action; and management system review.
