Training
mango farmers is just one aspect of Responsible Care work in
the Philippines.

At
Bayer Philippines Inc. - one of the largest health and chemical
companies in the Philippines - Responsible Care is taken very seriously.
Numerous projects - many of which are unique in the country - have
been set up to conserve resources, protect people and safeguard
the environment.
Given
that both the condition of the country's roads and driving habits
in the Philippines are conducive to accidents, numerous training
courses in hazardous goods transportation have been conceived and
implemented. Such courses and the introduction of a checklist for
trucks, coupled with strict monitoring of the rules by employees
and plant safety officers, have improved the safety of product delivery
from the plant to the end consumer significantly over the last few
years.
Regular
training courses for farmers on how to use crop protection agents
correctly and to dispose of them properly, in tandem with new recycling
and waste avoidance concepts, are further key examples of Responsible
Care in action in the Philippines.
