Responsible Care^®

As a member of the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA), Lilly participates in the Responsible Care^® initiative, a program of continuous improvement of environmental, health and safety issues and proactive public involvement. The program has been applied to all Lilly manufacturing sites in the United States and Puerto Rico. Annually, self evaluations are performed on each of the seven codes of management practice that comprise the initiative. The goal is to be at "best practice" (stage 5 on the chart) for all codes by the end of 1998. The chart above is a composite score for all the sites included in the program.
