ACD Membership

ACD provides top-tier EHS&S , regulatory compliance assistance, education for your entire staff from sales to C-level, but most importantly, ACD hosts a group of like-minded industry leaders who benefit from shared knowledge and business exchanges. Without being tongue in cheek, a home base, because you’re with a group that— unlike the rest of the world— understands what it takes to run a chemical facility.

Membership for the Alliance is open to companies that purchase for resale and/or handle chemical and essential ingredients. This includes, but is not limited to, companies that:

• Take title to and resell chemicals and/or essential ingredients;
• Blend, recycle, sample, transport, or warehouse/store these products on behalf of others;
• Actively facilitate the sale of these products as agents, traders, or related services for producers or distribution firms in this industry.

Join this group of industry leaders

On average, ACD members save $15,000 a year by participating in Responsible Distribution
