Nouryon, a global specialty chemicals leader, has been awarded the 2019 Responsible Care Merit Award by Association of International Chemical Manufacturers (AICM) in China. The award recognises a company’s performance and contribution to development of a responsible chemical industry in the country. AICM represents nearly 70 chemical multinationals of China.

The aim of AICM is to contribute to the sustainable development of the country’s chemical industry, amongst others by promoting green manufacturing and advancing Responsible Care among its stakeholders. Responsible Care is a global initiative by the chemical industry to enhance and improve companies’ environmental, health, safety and security performance.

Nouryon started production in China in the early 1990s and currently employs nearly 1,400 people across nine locations. The company recently completed an expansion of its surfactants capacity at Boxing and is investing in capacity to serve the polymers market, including a €90 million organic peroxides production facility in Tianjin and a major expansion of dicumyl peroxide production capacity at Ningbo, said Nouryon in  press release.

“We take pride in our efforts to improve our economic, environmental, and social impact and it’s an honour to be recognised by AICM for our efforts in this area,” said Jack Li, sales director Asia at Nouryon. “We look forward to further collaborate with AICM and support its mission and to help local partners pursue excellence and enhance customer satisfaction.”

“Our footprint in China is one of the most modern that we have in any part of the world and it enables us to service customers in a wide range of markets around the globe. Our investments in the country clearly demonstrate our commitment to strengthen our capabilities in the country,” said Nouryon CEO Charlie Shaver. (PC)
