Responsible Care® is the chemical manufacturing industry’s environmental, health, safety and security performance initiative. The 2021 Partner of the Year Award recognizes an ACC partner with superb performance and safety records in the distribution, transportation, storage, use, treatment, disposal and sales and marketing of chemicals. “To be recognized as Responsible Care® Partner of the Year twice in three years is an honor and reflects the level of commitment displayed by our family of employees and drivers,” said Rick Lusby, Highway Transport’s vice president of safety. “Being a leading example of safety in an industry where responsibility matters is an emphasis for Highway Transport. As we continue to grow and expand our services and solutions, safety always will be our foundation.” Highway Transport became a Responsible Care® Partner in 2005 and previously was recognized as Partner of the Year in 2019, just after the bulk chemical transportation company celebrated 70 years of service and safety in 2018. The ACC includes 97 Responsible Care® Partner Companies who are committed to open and transparent safety reporting and undergo mandatory audits at their headquarters and facilities to verify performance.
