CAIA’s Role
CAIA’s Role in Responsible Care® Implementation
CAIA has implemented an appropriate and flexible way of representing its members effectively, when engaging with relevant stakeholders on matters such as national legislation and policies. As it is important that Responsible Care® is applied in all countries in a uniform manner, CAIA implements Responsible Care® within the overall direction set by the ICCA.
