European Chemical Industry Council

The Conseil Européen des Fédérations de l'Industrie Chimique (Cefic) was created in 1972.

[5] Combined, they form one of the most active networks of the business community, complemented by partnerships with industry associations representing various sectors across the value chain.

[6][7] Cefic has also provided guidance and tools as well as libraries for enhancing harmonised implementation of the REACH Regulation.

[8] Cefic embarked on its sustainability journey in 1985, with the launch of the Responsible Care® programme[9] – the industry’s commitment to improving safe production, handling and use of chemicals across the supply chains.

Cefic’s Sustainable Development programme aims to support a transition towards a safe, resource-efficient, circular, low-carbon society.
