Sustainability

 

What does sustainability mean for Dow Corning? It means working with our customers to develop materials and solutions that help address some of the most pressing needs of our society. It means acting responsibly in our own operations to protect our environment and our people. It means partnering with communities to help foster a quality of life for today and for future generations. We've started the journey towards a sustainable future. We haven't reached our destination yet. But this is a journey we are committed to continuing.

Prosperity

People

Planet

We apply our innovative thinking and technology know-how to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals. As an example, we're helping textile manufacturers with eco-solutions.

Dow Corning has purchased renewable energy certificates (RECs) from NextEra Energy Resources, through its EarthEra initiative, for 2010 and 2011. The RECs purchased will help balance the environmental impact of carbon emissions at the Corporate Headquarters. All funds from the purchase are placed in the EarthEra Renewable Energy Trust, where 100 percent of funds are used to build new renewable energy generating facilities in the United States.

Community:  We believe in being active members of the communities where we live and work, and contributing to the well-being of our society. Find out how employees are helping discover, serve and innovate through the Dow Corning Citizen Service Corps.

Employees: Our employees are the source of our ideas, actions, and performance. We want them to have rewarding careers and to work in an atmosphere that helps them reach their full potential. Dow Corning is recognized around the world as a great place to work.

Safety: Safety is one of the core values  that drive our business decisions. In the firm belief that Safe work IS our job, we focus on preventing accidents, eliminating their root causes, and managing chemicals responsibly throughout their life cycles.  We work to ensure our products and services are safe, effective and their intended uses are accurately described, consistent with the principles of Responsible Care®.
