It makes twice that I attend the "Responsible
Care Meetings" on the site of one of the
concerned factories and I think that they are
very interesting and completely necessary and in
many respects. First of all, they allow to meet
there the managements which can explain to us so
verbally - to what are used their products, the
concrete actions accomplished concerning the
environment, the health and the security of our
region in the past year and naturally their
objectives for years to come, what is so original
because it is the best way to notice what was
realized and to take note of the projects to
come. The conducted tour of factories is also
very instructive. These meetings toke place in a
very pleasant climate furthermore, it is
possible to answer a questionnaire which is then
analyzed by all the persons present and what
allowed us to notice that the company - has
finally - done the necessary to improve the
nuisances for which they were responsible.
Naturally, it remains still a lot to do
