Responsible care has become the development guideline for the chemical industry
In the past year, the petroleum and chemical industry, which contributes 11% to the country's industrial added value, 14% to sales revenue, and 28% to total industrial profits, has actively implemented the "Decision of Several Important Issues in a Harmonious Society" adopted at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee. This initiative has driven the industry to embrace the concept of responsible care, fulfill its commitments, and achieve notable progress.
Responsible Care is a self-regulated and continuously improving system for managing environmental, health, and safety performance within the chemical industry. Its origin and ultimate goal are not centered on short-term commercial gains, but rather on building a positive public image for the industry, ensuring sustainable development, and ultimately achieving zero pollution emissions, zero accidents, and zero property losses.
As a key pillar of the national economy, the petroleum and chemical industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years. However, compared to other sectors, it remains an energy-intensive and polluting industry. During the era of heavy chemical industry, due to factors such as capital, technology, and management, development has been uneven, leading some enterprises to face high energy consumption and pollution issues.
To address these challenges, the industry has invested significant resources in structural adjustments, pollution control, waste management, and safety and environmental protection. In 2002, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association signed a cooperation agreement with the International Chemical Manufacturers Association to officially introduce Responsible Care in China. In June 2005, the association hosted a major international event — the "China Responsible Care Promotion Conference: Sharing Global Best Practices" — aimed at raising awareness of responsible care among companies. The event was opened by Cheng Siwei, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, who emphasized that responsible care should be a key component in building a harmonious society and promoting sustainable development in the oil and chemical industry. Representatives from multiple government departments, including the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Public Security, State Environmental Protection Administration, and State Administration of Work Safety, attended the conference. Over 150 domestic companies, including PetroChina and Sinopec, also participated. At the event, 17 enterprises and parks, such as Daqing Petrochemical Company, Jiangsu Anbang Electrochemical Co., Ltd., and Nanjing Chemical Industrial Park, were designated as pilot units for implementing Responsible Care.
Today, many large companies in the petroleum and chemical industry have begun to adopt responsible care practices. For example, Sinochem launched the "Safety, Environment and Health Management System (HSE)" in 2001, while CNPC implemented the "Quality, Health, Safety and Environmental Management System" around the same time. CNOOC now regularly publishes CSR reports annually. Meanwhile, Shanghai Chemical Industry Park is collaborating with the China-EU Environmental Management Cooperation Program to implement emergency response plans. Other companies are gradually adopting the principles of Responsible Care, working toward a more sustainable and socially responsible future.
