Focused on a sustainable future
Sustainability is one of our core values, and putting its principles into
practice is a companywide commitment. We continually work to:
-
Advance the quality of life by bringing new products and services to those
who would benefit from them
-
Create economic growth while fostering the well-being of our employees and
communities
-
Reduce the environmental impact and improve the health and safety aspects
of our operations, products and services
Taking Responsible Care®
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 (1.48MB PDF), we
continually strive to be one of the most respected companies in the chemical
industry for environmental, health and safety performance. We’ve 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).
Through this continual investment in EHS&S management systems, Dow
Corning has achieved a global environmental ISO14001
registration (PDF) and a
multisite RC14001
certificate of registration (PDF), 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.
