“Strem has had a long standing commitment to EHS&S programs. We have participated in SOCMA’s ChemStewards® program since its inception and we are pleased to attain the Excellence Tier ranking” said Ephraim Honig, Chief Executive Officer at Strem Chemicals.

Holland Jordan, Managing Director, ChemStewards. “Strem Chemicals’ customers, workers and community should take comfort in the fact that their supplier, employer or neighbor is operating above expectations in conformance with regulatory requirements.”

ChemStewards® is an industry-developed EHS&S program designed for the specialty chemicals industry. It was created from industry’s commitment to continuous improvement and to reduce the environmental footprint left by member facilities. The program is based on a three-tier system with key performance requirements per tier. 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 sign core principles, complete security requirements, meet specific metrics obligations and requirements, have one documented management review meeting, and complete a third-party verification of management systems at the Enhanced Performance level.
