VECAP’s mission is to increase awareness of chemical handling processes throughout the value chain.

VECAP is a tool for:

  1. Increasing the understanding of chemicals management beyond existing legislation
  2. Promoting and facilitating an open and constructive dialogue with all interested industries, regulators and stakeholders
  3. Raising the awareness of all personnel involved in the process, from shop floor to managers

VECAP is an innovative and excellence-driven way of doing business, based on ISO 14001 principles. It demonstrates the commitment of the industries involved to act in the interest of society and the environment while enhancing the competitiveness of local industries. It offers all companies – small, medium or large – equal access to the industry’s expertise in environmental best practices as well as procedures  driving continuous improvement and allows benchmarking for other industries to apply similar principles.

  • "The principles underlying VECAP may be applicable to the handling of other chemicals and Cefic is committed to increasing industry's awareness of this programme. At a time when the chemical industry and its supply chain are preparing for REACH, VECAP is an example of how cooperation throughout the value chain can be enhanced for the benefit of the environment."
