- Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association
- SOCMA - Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association conducts research programs, technical symposia, and specialized committee projects in the diverse field of chemical manufacturing. CHEMSTAR, the Chemical Self-Funded Technical Advisory and Research Division, is composed of 50 panels on specific chemicals and several Business Councils. The panels perform research focused on and advocate the concerns of companies that use or produce the selected chemicals. The Councils allow companies to discuss and develop more efficient operating strategies. In 1988 the board of CMA adopted an initiative to improve the management of chemicals. The initiative is called "Responsible Care: A Public Commitment". The initiative commits member companies to manage their businesses according to 10 principles that respond to public concerns about the impact of chemicals on health, safety, and environmental quality. Participation in Responsible Care is an obligation of CMA membership. The public is involved in shaping the initiative through a Public Advisory Panel. TRANSCAER (Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response) is a nationwide community outreach program addressing community concerns about the transportation of hazardous materials through the development of emergency response plans. CAER (Community Awareness and Emergency Response) helps communities to develop plans for responding to accidents at local facilities that manufacture, store, or use hazardous chemicals.
