For Infraserv Managing Direc- tor Dr. Jürgen Vormann: “Openness and transparency in communication is a key success factor for the chemical industry”. However, the ensuing lively discussion showed that light and shadow still coexist in this area. For example, some of the participants complained that the chemical industry is finding it increasingly difficult Dr. Fred van Ommen, former Senior Vice President Innovation at Philips to make itself heard by politicians or the public. The chemical park expert concedes that this is partly the Intellectual property has to be protected, but fault of the industry itself: “The chemical industry has only in late development phases. repeatedly blackmailed the public by threatening to re- locate its operations – we have never revised this chap- ter in our communication history.” “Credibility can soon be squandered when acting as a lobbyist.

because the topic of the appropriate distance also arises in each individual approval process. This affects both the approval procedures for major hazard plants themselves, and also the approval procedures for neighbouring projects considered worthy of protection. It is immaterial whether the approval concerned is to be granted in a procedure conducted under pollution-control law or in a building permit application procedure. This means that the building authorities, which have to decide in cases of projects located in areas influenced by major hazard plants, may have to address the topic of major incidents. However, they have been unable to gain any experience in these matters in the past because major-incident law has hitherto been of concern

COMPANY PROFILE

Strengths of the Three Sites It was at the CHEMPARK sites that some of the global players in the Life Sciences, agricultural chemistry and materials sectors took their first steps. For example, innovative materials are what binds the three CHEMPARK sites in the Rhineland together. Polycar- bonates, polyurethanes and butyl rubbers were in- vented here. CHEMPARK is still home to facilities and know-how enabling their further development, production and accompanying analysis – activities that make up a core area of its expertise. Another of CHEMPARK’s strengths is the manufacture of sili- cones and pigments.

CHEMPARK Leverkusen is one of the world’s most versatile locations for the chemical industry, producing more than 5,000 chemicals across an area of Picture: design112/wiesbaden112 Picture: 480 hectares.
