Being responsible
In concert with Glencore's mission, values and beliefs NorFalco is committed to being a recognized leader in the safe distribution of sulfuric acid.
The following statement was developed to frame NorFalco's commitment, and provide guidance for the performance we expect from ourselves:
"NorFalco will be a recognized industry leader in the safe and environmentally sound distribution of Sulfuric Acid. This leadership will work with and support the sulfuric acid business and provide a key benefit to our shareholders, customers and other stakeholders."
As a member of the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (CIAC), NorFalco is committed to meeting and exceeding the requirements of Responsible Care®.
This commitment requires the responsible management of chemicals by minimizing risk to employees, customers, the public and the environment. The Responsible Care ® ethic is evident throughout every phase of NorFalco's distribution system, where strict safeguards and established practices are in place. Compliance with Responsible Care® is re-verified every three years by advocates and chemical industry experts.
