Methanex incorporates Responsible Care^® into all of its business activities. The following examples illustrate some of the many ways Methanex fulfills its commitment to Responsible Care:

• We consider health, safety, emergency preparedness, environment, security and Corporate Social Responsibility activities that fall under the Responsible Care umbrella.
• We have established and maintain a corporate structure where Responsible Care is a primary focus, from the Board of Directors and line management all the way to the people working in our offices, terminals and manufacturing facilities.
• We incorporate Responsible Care thinking into all phases of our business and make Responsible Care a performance measure for all staff.
• We continuously improve the way we do our business through active participation in our industrial associations, sharing knowledge and best practices between sites, with other companies and with customers.
• We encourage others to apply the Responsible Care ethic by proactively selecting the best possible contractors, suppliers, carriers and distributors, and working with them throughout our business association.
• We work with communities and the public wherever we have, or plan to have, operations. Good communication is critical to the success of new projects and long-term operation of facilities.
• We develop effective two-way dialogue so that issues are known and that concerns are heard and are resolved in a timely manner to the mutual benefit of Methanex and the community. To this end, Methanex has formed Community Advisory Panels at all manufacturing sites.
• We have independent third party assessments carried out by the Canadian Chemical Producers' Association every three years to confirm our ongoing commitment to and compliance with the Responsible Care Ethic.
