More Value through Distribution CONCLUSIONS Based on an analysis of the 8 basic principles we can see that Responsible Care is contributing largely to the three pillars of Sustainability : Society, Economy and Environment. An important point is that the results of the application of Responsible Care/Sustainability are measured (vs. Time) by the Indices of Performance. Responsible Care and Sustainability create the opportunity to make your company attractive to suppliers, customers, employees and other stakeholders. Responsible Care and Sustainability can generate impulses for new business and can help to identify areas for savings. Circular Economy, one of the aspects in the Planet pillar, is a good example of how the distribution sector is contributing to Sustainability by using the system of returnable packaging. Responsible Care with SQAS/ESAD and verified Self Assessments will remain important standards for industry. More Value through Distribution
