ICEM Global Framework Agreement with Rhodia

The ICEM Global Framework Agreement with French specialty chemicals producer Rhodia, originally signed in Paris on 31 January 2005, includes strong language regarding responsible behaviour by the company’s suppliers and subcontractors.

The agreement is supported by ICEM French affiliates Fedechemie CGT-FO and Federation Chimie Energie CFDT.

The agreement has since been strengthened setting formal ICEM involvement in tracking “Rhodia Way” performance; it creates a joint safety issues discussion group; allows the agreement’s application to be audited by an outside expert jointly chosen by the two parties; and, following successful early joint missions, sets up an annual mission to a country to assess terms of the accord.

In addition a joint Global Safety Forum has been created in order to bring higher health and safety standards into the company for its 15,000 worldwide employees.

Having agreed to an addendum to clarify terms and conditions of the global forum, ICEM and Rhodia signed and officially established the body in 2010.
