The Chemical Business Association (CBA) has awarded its annual Responsible Care awards that recognise excellence by its member companies in the operation of its industry-wide programme to promote year-on-year improvements in health, safety, security and environmental management.
The Awards were presented before an audience of more than 1,100 members and their guests at CBA’s Annual Lunch on 25 April 2018 held at the Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London.
This year’s winner for a chemical distributor with an operating site and the winner of CBA’s overall Responsible Care Award was Whitchem Limited. Based in Staffordshire, Whitchem distributes chemicals, minerals and polymers.
The citation for the award highlights the importance of Responsible Care and Product Stewardship in all aspects of the company’s business in addition to its strategy for continuous operational improvement.
The CBA Award for Community Interaction was won by Dakram Materials Limited, a Bedfordshire-based distributor of inorganic metal-based chemicals. This award aims to recognise a major contribution to community interaction made by a company, one of its employees, or a group of employees.
Despite being a smaller company, Dakram Materials and its employees have fostered a long-term engagement with a wide range of initiatives in the local community as well as charitable projects overseas.
