A Responsible Care re-verification for SI Group-Canada, Ltd, (SI Group) was carried out on February24th and 25th by a three-member Canadian Chemical Producers’ Association (CCPA) appointed Team, augmented by a local community representative. 

The re-verification was conducted at the company’s Comstock Road facility in east Toronto.
The re-verification included interviews with a cross section of managerial, office, maintenance
and production employees and reviews of documents relating to the various topics being
addressed. 
 
The Canadian Chemical Producers’ Association’s “Responsible Care Re-Verification 2005-
2008 A Protocol to Help Us Improve” document was used for this re-verification. 
 
The decision-making and actions of SI Group are clearly underpinned by the Responsible
Care ethic. The company’s overall management system is self-healing, seeking to
continuously improve, to identify deficiencies and will likely act to correct them in a timely
manner. 
 
The re-verification team is satisfied with the approach used by the company to apply and
meet the requirements of the Responsible Care ethic and management system. The re-
verification process of SI Group is now complete with the publication of this report.
