Vive, which performs encapsulation and the formulation of crop-protection technologies, has earned the American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care® Performance Award for introducing breakthrough technology that uses green-chemistry principles. “Responsible Care is the chemical industry’s commitment to sustainability, enabling us to enhance environmental protection and public health, as well as improve worker safety and plant security,” said Bayer CEO Greg Babe, who is chairman of ACC’s Board Committee on Responsible Care.

ACC Responsible Care award winners qualify based on exemplary performance, and are selected by an external expert committee.
