Abstract

Fracking is an industrial activity and like all industrial activities, it can have positive and negative impacts on the environment and society. The debate would benefit from a discussion of the risks and an analysis of the means for their mitigation. To this end, we describe of the principles of ethics of Responsible Care®, first formulated in Canada by the now Chemical Industry Association of Canada, could improve the performance of the industry and gain public trust in the process.
