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), 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).
Through this continual investment in EHS&S management systems, Dow
Corning has achieved a global environmental ISO14001
registration
(PDF) and a
multi-site 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. If you would like to know more about the Dow Corning Product Risk
Prioritization Process, please contact us.
