This reverification team found that the Responsible Care ethic is well understood
and to a very large degree guides the daily actions and decisions of the Huntsman
management team and its employees. The Executive Contact is deeply involved in
the commitment and the process of Responsible Care and is leading a sound
approach to making it even more widespread among the employees and the
public. There are still, as always, opportunities for improvement. We detected
eagerness on the part of the entire team for our comments and ideas for the
continuous improvement of their Responsible Care Management system.

It is the team’s conclusion, after reviewing the company’s Information package,
and having interviewed their management team, their employees, members of their
local Community Panel, and other local neighbours and officials that the
company’s actions and decision-making processes indeed continue to
demonstrate the Responsible Care ethic. The company has effective management
systems in place to meet the Responsible Care codes and its other expectations.
We find it has demonstrated itself very capable of identifying and correcting
deficiencies through its management systems, processes, and performance
indicators, demonstrating continuous improvement consistent with the
expectations of the company’s stakeholders, including neighbours, employees,
peers, governments, shareholders.

It is also this team’s conclusion that the company is sufficiently self-healing and
forward looking in carrying out its responsibilities. that there is no need for the
team to follow up on the company’s progress in completing the findings requiring
action and in assessing and taking action, where appropriate, on the team’s
additional comments regarding opportunities for improvement.

The following is a summary of our findings requiring action, determined during our
2003 reverification visit. The findings will need follow-up with the company’s
Leadership Group, Huntsman’s Community Advisory process, and update of
progress will need to be included in the annual CEO recommitment to CCPA as
well as at the time of the next re-verification visit in 3 years.

The team recommends that CCPA officially recognize this re-verification with
an award at the next suitable occasion.
