Bringing chemistry to life.

A sustainable world is one in which health and welfare are promoted through education, health care, and employment. Buckman takes a leadership role, working hard to improve the quality of life for our associates, our local communities, and the global community we all share.

Better communities. Stronger associates.

BuckmanCares is a global initiative established to concentrate Buckman's charitable giving in key areas and to encourage and support the volunteer efforts of our associates. BuckmanCares is community-focused, encouraging the dedication of Buckman resources and the contribution of associates' time and talents in the areas of education with an emphasis on youth, health and human services, and environmental stewardship. These concentrated giving and volunteer efforts increase the impact on our communities to make them more livable. They earn the respect and goodwill of others. And they make our associates better, providing unique opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment.

Improving the Workplace

Buckman seeks to provide the very best working conditions for our associates. After all, the safety and health of our associates plays a key role in the financial sustainability of our company, in our productivity, and in our customer relations. Current initiatives include:

• Employee training, knowledge sharing, and professional development opportunities
• A global medical and health testing standard to ensure early detection of illnesses, a healthier work force, and lower health care costs
• Advanced risk assessment and accident prevention protocols

We have seen an overall 61% decrease in recordable injuries since 1999 and an 80% decrease in the number of occupational injuries resulting in lost time. These successes have garnered numerous awards, including the Fire Safety Model Enterprise Award from the Shanghai Fire Safety Bureau.

At Buckman, our goal is to be among the most respected employers in the world, judged by our commitment to training and development, compensation and benefits, fair labor practices, wellness, and human rights.
