Stewardship Overview

As part of its core mission, in an effort to protect human health and the environment, The Chlorine Institute ("CI" or "The Institute") supports the chlor-alkali industry, their customer end users, and serves the public by fostering continuous safety and security improvements as it relates to the handling and use of CI mission chemicals.¹ 

The Product Stewardship Issue Team (committee) focuses upon driving end user mission chemical accidents to zero. This is accomplished via a variety of methods including, but not limited to:

1. Developing and distributing educational publications consisting of pamphlets, checklists, videos, wall charts, and other resources to address the diverse and variable needs of membership and their customer end users.
2. Participating in federal rulemaking activities and other actions to support sound-science regulation.
3. Developing programs to track and measure improvements in the end user handling and use of mission chemicals and identifying those sectors with the greatest need.
4. Partnering with our members to develop training content / educational presentations and response considerations to be used in engagements with end user audiences.
5. Collaborating with downstream technical industry associations / organizations to provide chlor-alkali related safety information and support technical standard content development and revision.

At the core of CI's Stewardship Program is the Member Safety and Security Commitment and Pamphlet Certification. All Chlorine Institute member companies that produce, distribute or use chlorine annually certify that they will meet this commitment.
