Responsible care is the cornerstone of the green and sustainable development of the chemical park

On November 15, the annual meeting of the 2019 Responsible Care Park Working Group and the "2019 China Chemical Park Sustainable Development Conference" Chemical Park Responsible Care Sub-forum was held in Nanjing.

Responsible care work is progressing steadily but a long way to go

In recent years, the Sinopec Federation has taken responsible care as the starting point to guide the industry's self-discipline and promote the green and sustainable development of the industry, and has achieved certain results.

Luan Bingmei, director of the Quality, Safety and Environmental Protection Department of the China Petrochemical Federation, said that with the continuous advancement of responsible care, more and more chemical parks have realized the importance of implementing responsible care to promote the green and sustainable development of the park.

Fu Xiangsheng, vice chairman of the Sinopec Federation, pointed out that by the end of 2018, there were 676 chemical parks in my country, and only 57 chemical parks had signed the Global Charter of Responsible Care.

In this regard, Yang Ting, secretary-general of the Chemical Industry Park Working Committee of the China Petrochemical Federation, put forward four suggestions: First, we must base ourselves on the actual conditions of the park and inspire the enterprises in the park to implement the main responsibility of responsible care.

Carrying out evaluation is an effective means to promote responsible care

Xiao Li, Chairman of the AICM Responsible Care Committee and EHS Director of BASF Greater China, said that AICM currently represents nearly 70 multinational chemical companies with major investments in China.
In order to build a harmonious society and promote the sustainable development of China’s chemical industry, AICM has always Committed to leading the practice of responsible care, sharing industry best practices, and building an international chemical industry platform.
Xiao Li reviewed the history of AICM's promotion of responsible care in China, and pointed out that since 2018, AICM has strengthened cooperation with the park to jointly promote responsible care.
For example, in February this year, AICM and China Petrochemical Federation formally launched the "Chemical Park Responsible Care Action" in Zhenjiang New District.
Xiaoli believes that conducting self-assessment of responsible care can not only help enterprises to further improve the safety management level in a systematic way, but also help the park better understand the current status of EHS management of enterprises in the area.

Ling Jiandong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Jiangsu High-tech Fluorochemical Industrial Park, introduced that in 2017, under the guidance of AICM, the Park Management Committee and multinational companies in the region spontaneously established the Responsible Care Changshu New Material Industrial Park.
The committee currently has 22 member units.
Since its establishment, the committee has actively carried out various tasks, worked hard to build an information exchange platform between enterprises, and integrated the responsibility and care concept of "mutual learning, mutual assistance, and sharing" into the production management and operation of the enterprise, and deeply promoted the sustainable development of the enterprise.
Responsible care activities carried out in the park are divided into three phases: 1.
The exhibition phase; such as holding public open days and organizing public welfare tree planting activities with surrounding residents, which enhances the trust between the park and neighboring communities and promotes harmonious development.
2.
Promotion stage: A Responsible Care Working Group was established, with relevant leaders of the Management Committee as the group leader, responsible for formulating and actively promoting the implementation of the annual plan.
At the same time, efforts will be made to promote exchanges and interactions among enterprises in the region in terms of safety and environmental protection, so as to achieve common improvement and common development.
3.
The stage of joint development; the current chemical industry is facing many challenges, and the constraints of resources and environmental elements are more significant.
It is advocated to adhere to sustainable development and scientific governance as a common concept to build an organic whole for the integrated development of parks and enterprises.

Zhu Wei, deputy director of the management committee of Yangkou Chemical Industrial Park in Jiangsu Province, said that in June this year, the park and the top 30 enterprises in the area jointly established the "Corporate Responsible Care Alliance", which officially launched the park's responsible care system.
The alliance focuses on safety and environmental protection.
The specific measures include: signing safety commitments with enterprises in the zone to guide enterprises to build a standardized system; environmentally guiding enterprises to innovate devices and processes, reduce pollutant emissions from the source, and improve environmental performance ; Strengthen the training of responsible care system; create a unified comprehensive supervision system, that is, integrate the law enforcement functions of the park and implement comprehensive law enforcement.
Actively strengthen communication with surrounding communities, and increase the satisfaction of surrounding residents and communities with the park.
Zhu Wei introduced that through the practice of responsible care, the park will achieve three changes: First, the development direction will be changed, and green and sustainable development will be realized through the method of "reducing total amount, controlling increment, and improving quality"; second, service guarantee Change, plan to integrate existing service platforms to create an integrated third-party public service platform.
The third is innovation and the transformation of talents.
Currently, it is actively promoting the construction of process equipment technology research and development platforms and enterprise academician workstations, and has established a talent training mechanism with scientific research institutes.

   At the same time, Zhu Wei also put forward several views on the promotion of responsible care: Responsible care is an imported word, so in the process of learning from foreign experience, we must pay attention to digestion and absorption, innovate and enrich the concept of responsible care; the key to building a responsible care system in the park is to highlight the main body of the enterprise Status; the promotion of responsible care requires the establishment of a comprehensive coordination and promotion mechanism, that is, government setting up, professional counseling, enterprise singing, and mass evaluation, and ultimately achieving regional integration and sharing results.
