Responsible Care®

Responsible Care^® is the chemical industry's commitment to the continual improvement of environmental, health, safety and security performance.

In the U.S., Responsible Care companies have reduced environmental releases by 73 percent over the past 18 years and achieved an employee safety record that is more than four times safer than the average of the U.S. manufacturing sector.

Marathon adopted Responsible Care^® in 2000 as part of a partnership program between the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association (NPRA) and the American Chemical Council (ACC).
All of Marathon's downstream business units have received third-party certification of their management systems. As a Responsible Care^® company, Marathon pledges to operate its business in accordance with the Responsible Care Guiding Principles.
