International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA)

• Council of chemical industry associations from:

Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Europe, North and SouthAmerica, and South Africa

• Represent approximately 75% of global chemicalsproduction

• World chemical production is € 2 trillion annually and 45%

of this is traded internationally• Develop industry positions and programs on international

issues:

health, safety, and the environment; international transportsafety; intellectual property; trade policy; elimination ofchemical weapons

• Promote and coordinate Responsible Care® and other

voluntary chemical industry initiatives

Responsible Care ®

• Voluntary chemical industry initiative

• Started in Canada in 1985 and now in 53 countries

• Commitment to continued improvement in all aspects ofhealth, safety and environmental performance and to opencommunication

• Rigorous system of checklists, performance indicators andverification procedures enables the industry to measureimprovement

• Industry associations implement initiative in their countries.

All programs are monitored and coordinated by ICCA.



ICCA is committed to meeting WSSD’s sustainable development challenge

ICCA is making a significant contribution in these areas:

• Chemical safety: extending Responsible Care ® toGlobal Product Strategy

• Innovation: developing new products and technologies

• Capacity building: improving knowledge aboutchemicals through training, education andcommunication and promoting health, safety andenvironmental standards worldwide

• Globalization: transferring efficient technologiesthroughout the world and improving education andtraining



Chemicals are a truly globalised industry in whichcompetition takes place at a global level

Markets are booming around the world, with average growth rates p.a.of trade and production of up to 25% in certain countries

More than 45% of the value of the global chemical industry is traded.Over 35% of this world trade is intra-company in nature.

World Chemical Output & Exports

During the 1990s, world chemicals exports grew2.2 times as fast as world chemicals output.

35% of this world trade is intra-company



13

Globalisation and key societal developments are shaping the world inwhich the chemical industry is operating today

Globalisation initially in the form of increased exports to othercountries, including developing countries to enable strong economicgrowth

From exports to investments in growth countries in last decade

Multinational companies apply their high Safety, Health andEnvironment standards worldwide (no “environmental dumping”),accelerating the transfer of clean technology and good practices

Developing countries chemical industry exports to OECD but also

increasingly to each other

Toxic chemicals listed under the Rotterdam Convention decreasinglyexported from OECD countries to developing countries but South-South trade needs to be examined

Chemicals is a globalized industry
