ChemStewards is an industry-developed EHS&S program designed for the specialty chemical industry. It’s based on a three-tier system with key performance requirements per tier with increasing levels of difficulty.  Tier One is known as Fundamental and Tier Two is Enhanced Performance – the standard tier for ChemStewards participants.  To qualify for Excellence, or Tier Three, facilities must commit to core principles, complete security requirements, meet specific metrics obligations and requirements, have at least one documented management review meeting and complete a third-party verification of management systems at the Enhanced Performance (Tier Two) level. To maintain their ranking, facilities must sustain EHS&S performance metrics at or above the Excellence criteria.
