He is one of the most proactive members in the FECC Health Safety and Environment (HSE) Committee, providing valuable input and initiating various activities to the benefit of the entire Chemical Distribution sector.” At the Gala Dinner, where several representatives of the European Commission and ECHA were present, Hendrik Abma congratulated the Award winner and expressed how he is looking forward to a continuing cooperation with Fabrice and his great work that is so important for the sector.
