Cefic Pan-European Public Opinion Survey (PES) 2010 Perception of Transportation of Chemicals
•
11 countries / 1,000 people in each country • 81% coverage of EU27 population
Public perception of chemical transport is better than general chemical industry image
Majority of people recognize the need for transport and agree that most transport companies show a responsible behaviour
There is low awareness of industry transport safety initiatives
Most important concerns: safety / accidents / hazardous products
Public perception is better in North Europe than in South Europe
Rail transport is the preferred transport mode

SQAS / CDI
A system to evaluate the quality, safety, security and the environmental performance of Logistic Service Providers and Distributors in a uniform manner by single standardised assessments carried out by independent inspectors Common industry questionnaires Training, accreditation and quality monitoring of assessors Electronic database of assessment reports Drives continuous improvement of standards Cost effective: single evaluation instead of individual company assessments
