Company Profile

Company Overview

The American Chemistry Council (ACC) represents the companies that make the products that make modern life possible, while working to protect the environment, public health, and the security of our nation. Founded in 1872, our support for research and initiatives that serve our communities and customers continues to this day. Our member companies have committed to implement a set of goals and guidelines that go above and beyond federal regulation on health, safety, security, and the environment. Membership also brings with it important business opportunities and information, including meetings and networking, economics, statistics, publications and a special forum responding to the needs of smaller companies. Since 1988, our Responsible Care® initiative has led to the reduction of releases to the environment by more than 71 percent and a safety record that is more than four times safer than the average of the U.S. manufacturing sector. With your help, we can do even better.

Good science needs good questions. Together, we can find the answers that will ensure a brighter, cleaner, safer and more prosperous tomorrow.
