This certification influences our daily operations and quality management by instilling a culture of efficiency, consistency, and customer focus. We maintain robust quality control processes to ensure reliable products and foster customer trust. At the same time, we continuously streamline our processes, eliminating inefficiencies to improve outcomes and reduce waste.
Regular independent audits and reviews drive ongoing improvement, helping us refine our procedures and stay innovative and competitive.
Ultimately, being ISO 9001:2015 certified means we consistently comply with legal and regulatory requirements in our industry while delivering top-quality services – a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence in everything we do.
Responsible Care & VCH Membership
WE Chem’s commitment to Responsible Care – the chemical industry’s global voluntary initiative – reflects our pledge to go above and beyond basic compliance in health, safety, and environmental stewardship.
Responsible Care is a worldwide initiative that drives companies to continuously improve their EHS (Environment, Health, Safety) performance beyond legal requirements and to report this progress transparently to the public. In line with this, WE Chem joined the VCH Responsible Care program in 2023, reinforcing our dedication to the initiative’s principles.
As a proud member of the German Chemical Distribution Association (Verband Chemiehandel e.V., VCH), WE Chem adheres to strict guidelines for sustainable and responsible chemical distribution. The VCH’s Responsible Care program calls on us to constantly review the impact of our activities on society and future generations, incorporating those considerations into business decisions. In practice, this means we commit to continuous improvement in safety, environmental protection, and transparency throughout our operations.
We implement high standards for the safe storage, handling, and transport of chemicals, ensuring the well-being of our employees, customers, and the communities we serve.

At WE Chem, sustainability isn’t just a promise – it’s a principle we act on every day. We’re proud to have been awarded the EcoVadis Bronze Medal, a globally recognized certification that highlights our achievements in environmental performance, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
This recognition reflects our ongoing efforts to integrate responsible practices across our operations and supply chains – from sourcing raw materials to serving our customers. As we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to transparency, continuous improvement, and contributing to a more sustainable chemical industry.
