CBA PRESENTS ITS INDUSTRY AWARDS

The Chemical Business Association (CBA) has announced the winners of its annual industry awards for chemical supply chain excellence.

The Awards were presented at CBA’s Annual Lunch at the Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London, on 29 April 2015, by comedian, author and television personality, Alexander Armstrong, before an audience of more than 1,150 industry representatives and their guests.

CBA’s awards aim to recognise excellence in relation to the industry’s Responsible Care programme and interaction by member companies with their local communities.

RESPONSIBLE CARE AWARD

Responsible Care is an industry-wide programme promoting year-on-year improvements and best practice in health, safety, security and environmental management.  Once a year, CBA publishes the aggregate performance for all its member companies – and has done so every year since 1993.

The winner of CBA’s Responsible Care Award and the winner of the overall Responsible Care Award was the Bowker Group.  The Award reflects the company’s commitment to Responsible Care and to implementing its Guiding Principles in its day-to-day operations. The engagement of senior managers, the company’s consistent investment in training, and

its regular risk-based internal audits have developed a culture of continuous improvements in health, safety, security, and environmental management.

COMMUNITY INTERACTION AWARD

CBA’s Community Interaction Award aims to recognise an outstanding contribution to community interaction by a member company, or one of its employees, or group of employees.  Many CBA member companies – and their employees – give their time and resources to support local good causes, local schools, or sporting teams.  The CBA’s Award acknowledges these initiatives and a member company’s commitment to the community in which it operates.

NORBERT DENTRESSANGLE LOGISTICS UK
The winner of CBA’s Community Interaction Award was Norbert Dentressangle Logistics UK.  The Award is in recognition of the company’s effective links with the local communities in which it operates.  Building on local communications in relation to its COMAH sites, the company has forged and maintains strong links with community groups, local schools, and charitable initiatives.
