Responsible Care.
Responsible Corporate Citizenship.
In 2004 and 2005, all of OMNOVA Solutions’ chemical facilities received Responsible Care® Achievement Awards for our commitment to the implementation of the chemical industry’s Responsible Care® initiative. 
This reflects more than 10 years of continuous improvement in our environmental, health, safety and security performance.
With its focus on safe chemical management, the Responsible Care® program has been recognized as one of the most successful initiatives developed by the chemical industry. Its goals are far-reaching, touching nearly every aspect of chemical development, manufacturing, transportation and disposal. Companies that commit to Responsible Care® principles must then demonstrate continuous progress toward achieving these goals:
- Improved chemical processes
- Enhanced practices and procedures
- Safe production, transportation, use and disposal of materials
- Reduction of wastes, injuries, incidents and emissions
- Enhanced customer relations and service
- Increased communication with the public
OMNOVA’s Safety, Health & Environmental Policy, and our Culture and Value statements, support and guide us on our journey as a Responsible Care® company. They emphasize our priority to operate our facilities and conduct our business activities in a manner that protects the safety and health of our employees and preserves and protects the environment...not only as a matter of compliance, but because it’s the right way to do business.
