What is the Community Advisory Panel?
The Community Advisory Panel (CAP) is a group of approximately 20
people from Barry and Sully who serve voluntarily to represent local interests.
Some of the members represent neighborhoods close to our plant, others
represent residents’ associations and community councils. They have a wide
range of backgrounds - including business people, councilors, school teachers
and students.
The members meet on the second Tuesday of each month with managers from
Dow Corning and the managers of two neighboring companies - Cabot Carbon and
Vopak. At these meetings, the panel members ask questions about our
performance, hear updates on different elements of the sites’ operations and
raise any issues that might be of concern locally.
Why do we link with the community in this way?
As part of our commitment to Responsible Care®, we aim to communicate openly
and honestly with people who live close to our site. The Community Advisory
Panel is one way to have a regular open dialogue with representatives from the
local neighborhood.
