Does the verification called for in the Security Code apply to Partner Companies?
Verification of the Security Code for Partners will be addressed through the Responsible Care certification process. The verification requirements of Management Practice #11 of the Responsible Care Security Code are applicable to “chemical operating facilities”, which Partners do not, by definition, have. Partners are, however, held accountable for their implementation of the Responsible Care Security Code through the Security Code Implementation Affirmation Statement that each Partner company Executive Contact must sign, and additionally through ongoing third-party certification audits of the company’s Responsible Care management system.
