Dow Chemical's Sustainability, Product Stewardship, and Carbon Impact Journey
In this webcast we will explore how Dow Chemical has emerged as one of the leaders in the chemicals industry for its environment, health and safety performance. Dow will review its EH&S program structure and content, and give examples of projects and results around energy management activities.
Dow will also discuss its set of EH&S goals for 2015 and how it set out to achieve such goals. The company’s efforts in this area are focused on strengthening relationships within the communities where Dow operates, and the continuous improvement of product stewardship and innovation to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, and to reduce Dow's global footprint.
During the Webcast, SAP will also briefly discuss its own sustainability roadmap and how it helps companies to measure and track their global carbon footprint.
Presentations by the speakers will be followed by an interactive Q&A session with the audience, held by Vincent Valk, Online Editor/Chemicalweek.
