Local ethylene glycol producer, MEGlobal, announced that it has received its Responsible Care in-Place re-verification from the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada.
Verification is a rigorous process. Member companies must comply with more than 150 requirements to retain Responsible Care status. Every three years, a team of industry experts, public advocates and local citizens form a verification team to review company operations, interview employees and identify any areas for improvement the company could implement. MEGlobal was first verified as a Responsible Care company in 2007.
“MEGlobal's commitment to the principles of Responsible Care is present in every aspect of our operations,” says Bob Brandt, vice president of manufacturing for MEGlobal. “Our staff, policies, systems and actions ensure our products are managed responsibly from manufacture through disposal.”
There are two MEGlobal manufacturing facilities in Alberta, one in Fort Saskatchewan and the other at Prentiss near Lacombe. “We are proud of our performance in safety, environmental stewardship and community engagement,” says Rejeanne Cool, Global Environment Health & Safety Leader. ”It's how we do business.”
