GATX Corporation (NYSE: GATX) was recently selected by the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (“CIAC”) to receive the 2023 Responsible Care® Excellence in Partnership Award. This award was presented to GATX at the annual CIAC board of directors’ meeting on Oct. 22, 2024.
The CIAC’s Responsible Care Program has been in place for over 35 years, and is designed to bring chemical producers and their key suppliers together to demonstrate a common commitment to continuously improve the industry’s safety, sustainability and overall performance. GATX is a Responsible Care Partner in both the CIAC and the American Chemistry Council (ACC) program in the United States.
CIAC’s president and chief executive officer, Bob Masterson, stated, “We are so proud of our outstanding awards winners this year. They have all shown formidable effort and leadership in implementing Responsible Care over the past year.” GATX was specifically recognized for its significant contribution to the CIAC’s Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response (TRANSCAER) initiative, which aims to inform communities about the products being transported through their area, and what measures are in place to ensure their safe transportation. GATX outfitted and donated a new safety training railcar to TRANSCAER who will use the car to train emergency responders throughout Canada on how to safely manage transportation incidents involving hazardous materials.
Paul Titterton, executive vice president and president of GATX Rail North America said, “On behalf of our dedicated employees at GATX, we are very proud to receive this award from the CIAC.
