Responsible Distribution is the National Association of Chemical Distributor’s (NACD) third-party verified environmental, health, safety, and security program that allows members to demonstrate their pledge to continuous performance improvement in every phase of chemical storage, handling, transportation, and disposal.

Christopher Wagner, ChemSpec’s COO & Law Director, had this to say about the recent verification: “We are very proud of the effort our entire team puts into Responsible Distribution, and in particular our Quality & Regulatory Department, who spends several months preparing for the audit. Sustainability is a core principle at ChemSpec and at our parent company, Safic-Alcan Groupe.
