ECTA RESPONSIBLE CARE LOGO

The ECTA members who commit to the Responsible Care principles and continuous improvement and who ensure key performance indicators are proudly carrying the RC logo, the sign of recognition by the chemical industry in Europe of their contribution to a sustainable supply chain.

The transport companies who join the ECTA RC program will be granted the right to use the Cefic registered RC logos, which are and remain under the ownership of Cefic. The RC Company is entitled to use the collective trademarks on:

• letterhead, envelopes, business cards, websites, corporate signage, flags and badges for personnel and or legally required reports to authorities, in‐house company brochures, in particular as part of a company’s communication program to promote RC to its employees;
  
• brochures and other information material on the company and its operations, but without any reference to specified products; company gifts and promotional materials;
  
• office equipment and stationary, notebooks, briefcases, ...
  
• plaques and posters on office or plant buildings, under the condition that the logo cannot be associated with a specific product;
  
• legally required reports to authorities, when deemed relevant.
  

The use of the RC logo is not permitted on:

• any material used in the advertising, marketing and distribution of specified products; product information, e.g. technical specification sheets, safety data sheets, TREMCARDS;
  
• any sort of product package;
  
• equipment for bulk storage or transport;
  
• signage on lorries, trailers and tanks;
  
• use by third parties such as sub‐contractors and cleaning stations.
  

To the effect of verification of the appropriate use of the RC logos, the RC companies will send to ECTA a specimen of their recurrent documents and brochures, etc. where they are planning to the RC logos. Non‐permissible uses will be forthwith stopped upon receipt of notification from ECTA to that effect. In case the non‐permissible use persists, ECTA may withdraw the right to use the RC logos, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of ECTA. When a transport company ceases, for any reason, to be a RC partner, they have to cease the use of the RC logos forthwith.
