ACD Responsible Distribution®

Buckley Oil Company is a proud member of the Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD), formerly the NACD. Now an international association of chemical distributors and their supply-chain partners. A member since 1996, Buckley is committed to the guiding principles of ACD Responsible Distribution. We believe in the accountability and shared responsibility that comes with a mandatory third-party verified environmental, health, safety & security program dedicated to continuous performance improvement in every phase of chemical storage, handling, transportation, and disposal.
With decades of experience and service to its members, ACD has placed the highest priority on the health, safety, and security of employees, communities, and the environment.
In December 1991, the member companies of what was then NACD undertook as its most important mission the inception of Responsible Distribution, developed by their members to set a bar of excellence in our industry. As of 2024, they are celebrating over 30 years of improving safety and performance through Responsible Distribution.
Responsible Distribution is a mandatory third-party verified environmental, health, safety & security program that lets members demonstrate their commitment to continuous performance improvement in every phase of chemical storage, handling, transportation, and disposal. ACD members play a leadership role in their communities as information resources and are eager to provide the same assistance and guidance to local, state, and federal legislators on technical issues relating to the safe handling, storage, transportation, use, and disposal of chemical products.
