Responsible Care: the cornerstone of sustainable development——An interview with Li Yongwu, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the China Petroleum and Chemical In

The China Responsible Care Promotion Conference 2007, jointly organized by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association and the International Chemical Manufacturers Association, will be held in Shanghai from October 30th to November 1st. Promoting Responsible Care will play a role in realizing the sustainable development of China's oil and chemical industry. The reporter recently interviewed Li Yongwu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association.
Reporter: Responsible Care is a new concept of social responsibility that foreign companies first advocated and brought into China. What are the practical significance of promoting responsible care in China's petroleum and chemical industries?
Li Yongwu: The implementation of responsible care can, first of all, promote the sustainable development of the oil and chemical industry. According to relevant statistics, the number of all types of accidents and deaths in 2006 dropped by 12.6% and 11.2% respectively year-on-year. National production safety has maintained overall stability and tends to turn for the better. The safety production status in most industries and fields has improved and the task of safe production has been completed. However, only the number of accidents and deaths in the hazardous chemicals industry rose but increased. This situation will certainly affect the development of the chemical industry. In the past decade or so, the development of several industries in China's chemical industry has suffered setbacks. The key lies in the issue of environmental protection. As long as the “three wastes” are not handled properly and any serious environmental pollution occurs, any chemical plant will be “stopped”. In China, the concept of responsible care, chemical companies can spontaneously and consciously do a good job in health, safety, and environmental protection, and there are cornerstones and guarantees for sustainable development.
Second, it can promote the process of global economic integration. With regard to economic development now, no one can do without between the big and small countries, the advanced developed countries, the developing countries, and the less developed countries. The time has come for China's chemical industry to integrate into the global economy. The transnational chemical companies themselves have implemented responsible care. When purchasing raw materials and selecting suppliers, we must first see whether the other party is also implementing responsible care.
Reporter: What are the difficulties faced by China's petroleum and chemical industries in practicing responsible care and what measures should be taken?
Li Yongwu: Implementing responsible care is a difficult and complicated job. It is both an idea and an action. The biggest problem at the moment is that development is unbalanced. Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to increase the intensity of publicity and promotion so that enterprises and employees can truly turn responsible care into self-conscious actions; on the other hand, they must have systems to restrain and guarantee. First, the top management of the company must personally lead, directly intervene, and fully support it, and integrate responsibility care into all aspects of corporate work, making it an indispensable concept for corporate development. The second is to integrate Responsible Care into the corporate culture and management system so that all employees can actively participate and implement the social responsibilities undertaken by the company to each employee so that each employee becomes a responsible and responsible health, safety, and environmental responsibility. Pursue the goal of zero accidents, zero work injuries and zero pollution to the environment. Third, according to the requirements of the Responsible Care Guidelines and the actual situation of the company and the park, a practical and feasible implementation plan has been formulated, starting from basic work, strict management, and steadily progressing. Fourth, persist and persevere, with the concept of responsible care, continuously improve and perfect the company’s production, operation and management, so that the company truly becomes the beneficiary of responsible care. The fifth is to strengthen the popularization of responsible care.
Reporter: Chemical safety supervision is an important issue for this meeting. In the face of the gradual weakening of safety production management in the industry, what are the potential threats in the petroleum and chemical industries?
Li Yongwu: First, the number of large-scale petrochemical production devices and storage devices has increased, and the number of major hazard sources has continued to increase. Second, many private enterprises have a small scale of operations, backward production technology and equipment, poor quality of employees, and congenitally insufficient safety production conditions, leading to accidents. A large number of hidden dangers existed. Third, the rapid development of chemicals management and transportation industry formed a large number of dangerous sources of flow; Fourth, a large number of pipelines for long-distance oil and gas transmission across different regions, the geographical environment is very complex and constitutes a new Risk factors; Fifth, due to the rapid development of the city and weak urban planning and management, many chemical companies are built in the urban areas, especially the city gas stations and gas filling stations are all built in the urban areas, and a considerable number are built in densely populated areas. The potential danger increases. Sixthly, some responsible persons of enterprises have unilaterally pursued economic benefits, lacked necessary capital input, hidden failures were not effectively rectified, and there were violations of command and violations, reflecting the implementation of the responsibility system, safety production investment, safety education, and hidden risk rectification. There are obvious deficiencies in the accountability and other aspects. These threats will not be removed and will affect the development of our industry.
Reporter: What is the promotion of responsible care by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association?
Li Yongwu: Although the time for the establishment of China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association was very short, since the establishment of the association, it has attached great importance to promoting the concept of responsible care throughout the industry and implementing the Responsible Care Program.
In 2002, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association and the International Chemical Manufacturers Association signed a cooperation agreement to jointly promote Responsible Care Concept and Responsible Care Program in China. In June 2005, the Association organized the first China Responsible Care Promotion Conference to raise the awareness of responsible companies in the majority of companies. Due to the good results, in April this year, the association organized 17 enterprises and parks to formally launch the Responsible Care Pilot Project. We will further promote self-discipline in the industry, help enterprises establish a good social image, and promote the coordinated development and sustainable development of the entire industry.
