Responsible Care Global Charter (RCGC) and
Global Product Strategy (GPS)
To improve sound management of chemicals globally All major chemical companies accepted the obligation to implement RCGC and GPS External review process through ICCM’s (2009/ 2012 / 2015 / 2020)

Chemicals Policy and Health (CP&H) Principle of Chemical Risk Assessment Hazard
is defined by the toxicological / ecological profile of the chemical cannot be modified as it is intrinsic / inherent
Exposure
results from application, use pattern, handling, properties, preparations can be modified / limited
RISK = HAZARD x EXPOSURE

Step 2:
Gather information
Step 3:
Prioritize chemicals into Tiers
Step 4:
Develop “Base Set of Information”
Section Two: Implementation
Step 5:
Characterize Hazard
Step 6:
Assess Exposure
Step 7:
Conduct Risk Characterization
Step 8:
Document Safety Summary

GPS Safety Summaries – Increasing Transparency
ICCA has developed a format to communicate essential information on chemicals in a transparent way with interested stakeholders (GPS Safety Summary).
They are published on the ICCA GPS Chemical Portal and linked to company websites It is not intended to replace technical materials such as the (M)SDS for communication with professionals http://www.icca-chem.org/en/Home/ICCA-initiatives/global-product-strategy/ 13

GPS Safety Summaries – Increasing Transparency
Free public access to relevant information on chemicals and products for all stakeholders. Today, more than 3400 GPS Safety Summaries are available at the GPS IT Portal.
Positive feedback from external stakeholders

UNEP-ICCA Project In East- and West-Africa
Background
Ports in Ghana and Kenya are major entry points for chemicals in Africa, production still limited Lack of awareness for chemicals management and insufficient emergency preparedness compromise security
Project Focus
Transport and warehousing of chemicals
Project Objectives
Improving Emergency Preparedness Building capacity for chemicals management Initiating a network of key stakeholders for chemicals management
Chemicals Policy and Health (CP&H)
Global Product Strategy is Creating Value
Create and maintain a partnership relation to your customers, authorities and the public Improved cost-efficiency and productivity Stay ahead of regulations Reduce liability issues Secure a competitive advantage for your company
