Responsible Care
Taking Care
Our work at NOVA Chemicals results in plastic products that take care of food, water and other goods vital to life. To enable these products, we must first take care of the people, places, materials and processes that make them possible. We take care with respect to our operations, communities, products and the environment. Taking Care is a way to think and a way to work. It’s our particular approach for putting Responsible Care into practice.
At NOVA Chemicals, we believe we can help shape a world where the plastic products vital to our lives – our health and happiness – are even better tomorrow than they are today. We are dedicated to being a leader in innovation that enables our customers to deliver products that make everyday life healthier, easier and safer. This starts with creating plastics solutions that are consistent and reliable; that perform as they are meant to perform and adhere to the highest quality standards. This is the foundation of our commitment to behave responsibly, while creating opportunities for our employees, delivering value to our stakeholders and taking care of our planet.
Our continued success depends on understanding and respecting the needs and interests of stakeholders at every stage of our operations. We think of stakeholders as persons or groups who are directly or indirectly affected by our operations, as well as those who may have interests or have the ability to influence outcomes. We welcome input from outside individuals and groups on all aspects of our operations. Reach us at care@novachem.com.
