The Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD) and Responsible Distribution of Canada (RDC) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to support the continued collaboration and commitment to their respective responsible distribution programs. The MOU recognizes the role that each performance program plays in the safe and secure management of chemicals throughout the supply chains of the United States and Canada.

RDC President Catherine Wieckowska, RDC Board of Directors Chair Philip Zerr, ACD Chairman Ed Boss, and ACD President and CEO Eric R. Byer sign the MOU during ACD's Annual Meeting in La Quinta, California.

“ACD and RDC’s respective responsible distribution programs are central to the way our industry operates,” said Eric R. Byer, president and CEO of ACD. “We are excited about this important continued collaboration reaffirming a joint commitment to these guiding principles upholding the highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability. By further collaborating across borders, the industry can strengthen the chemical supply chain today and into the future.”

Since 1991, ACD Responsible Distribution™ has been a trusted, comprehensive set of environmental, health, safety, security, and sustainability standards within the chemical distribution industry. This comprehensive framework demands continuous improvement in every phase of chemical storage, handling, transportation, and disposal. To learn more, click here.
