Safety and Transparency Go Hand in Hand

Methanex is committed to best in class environmental and safety standards that minimize risk to people, the environment and the communities in every country in which we operate. Responsible Care^® is the ethic that guides us in this effort. Developed by the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (CIAC), Responsible Care forms the umbrella under which we manage all our health & safety, environmental, emergency response, security and community programs. Responsible Care is a risk minimization approach that governs our actions throughout the complete life cycle of our products. Responsible Care is an integral part of the way we do business and we annually publish a Responsible Care and Social Responsibility Report that informs our stakeholders about key initiatives relating to our product, our communities and our customers.
