The connection between sand, one of nature’s abundant resources, and our
silicon-based products provides the foundation on which Dow Corning is based,
and aligns with our dedication to building a sustainable future for you and
each of us.
As we bring to life our Guiding Principles (PDF size:
116 KB), we continually strive to be one of the most respected companies
in the chemical industry for environmental, health, and safety performance.
We have used the American Chemistry Council's
Responsible Care® program as the framework to assure environment, health,
and safety practices are well established within the company. These
management systems guide our actions and enable us to responsibly develop,
produce, and provide products to enhance lives and be a positive force working
for our collective future. To effectively work toward this goal, we rely
on the commitment and involvement of our employees around the world. That is
reflected in our Environment, Health & Safety, Security and Quality policy (PDF size: 21
KB).
Through this continual investment in EHS&S management systems, Dow
Corning has achieved a global environmental ISO14001
registration (PDF size: 467 KB) and a multi-site RC14001
certificate of registration (PDF Size: 488 KB), which includes our
corporate headquarters.
Product Stewardship is one good example of our Responsible Care® commitment,
and can be demonstrated by the Product Risk
Characterization, Management and Communication processes we have put in
place. If you would like to know more about the Dow Corning Product Risk
Prioritization Process, please contact us.
