The Chemical Business Association (CBA) has unveiled the winners of its annual industry awards for Responsible Care.
They were presented at CBA’s Annual Lunch at the Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London, before an audience of more than 1,100 industry representatives and their guests by impressionist, comedian, and writer, Rory Bremner.
CBA’s Awards recognise excellence in relation to Responsible Care, a voluntary industry programme promoting continuous improvements and best practice in health, safety, security, and environmental management. Each year, CBA publishes the aggregate performance data for all its member companies.
The winner of the CBA Award for a distributor company with an office-only operation was Bradford-based Chantry Chemicals Limited. The award reflects the company’s integration of Responsible Care into all its business operations and for its work with the local community. Lesley Jones, Managing Director, received the award on behalf of the company.
The winner of the Responsible Care Award for distributor companies with operating sites was Brenntag UK and Ireland Limited. The company also won this year’s overall CBA Responsible Care Award.
The award reflects the exceptional commitment of the company to achieving a strong safety culture through training and communication throughout the workforce and its engagement with the local communities in which it operates. Fred Worle, Group Operations Director, received the Award on behalf of the company.
The judging panel awarded a Certificate of Commendation to Monarch Chemicals Limited to reflect the effectiveness of its internal communication strategy.
The Chemical Business Association also announced the winner of its annual Community Interaction Award.
CBA’s Community Interaction Award aims to recognise an outstanding contribution to community interaction by a member company, or one of its employees, or group of employees.
The winner was the 2M Group Limited. The award reflects the strong involvement of the company, in working with young people in schools, colleges and universities, to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and providing many with workplace opportunities. Liran Maller, Group Director of Human Resources, received the Award on behalf of the company.
