A corporation’s commitment to the environment is
not a choice to be made, but rather a responsibility to be embraced. That is
why our Sustainability value says, “We will act responsibly to… improve the

Dow Corning is working to reduce its environmental footprint by implementing
new technologies throughout the waste management process. We are also
continuing proactive efforts in product stewardship and chemical management to
better protect human health and the environment.
