Chemical Industry is located in a high position around the world and particularly in Brasil, where is one of the major contributors to GNP. Chemistry is presented at all sectors and mankind used products and more and more contributes with solutions to improve quality of life. Though, there are some inherent risks at manufacturing processes and due to major accidents in the past (e.g. Bhopal in 1984), the sector decided to implement a global program, so called Responsible Care, aiming to minimize risks and consequences of eventual incidents. A lot of progress happened in the management field and health, safety and environment started to be considered as important in the decision process, together with economic considerations. Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (ABIQUIM) launched the program in 1992, which has been deeply reviewed last year in order to in alignment with Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility concepts and to promote the triple bottom line search. This dissertation is intended to identify the motivations that lead industries and executives to adopt Environmental Protection and Corporate Social Responsibility and how deep this commitment has penetrated in the structures. Members of ABIQUIM have been researched and executives have been interviewed in order to have answers to these questions.
