The company’s decision-making and actions are clearly underpinned by the
Responsible Care ethic. The overall management system was confirmed to be self-
healing, in that the process focussed on continual performance improvement through
identification of deficiencies and actions to correct them in a timely manner.

Not withstanding the above, the following findings requiring action were identified.
These will need to be followed-up with the CCPA Leadership Group in which the
company participates, the company’s established community advisory processes, the
annual executive contact recommitment to CCPA and in the next re-verification.
