Is Responsible Care something that Dow Corning uses in the United States only?
Dow Corning committed to the global implementation of Responsible Care in 1997. This built on our successful efforts in countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom, and Japan, as well as the 1989 commitment in the U.S. Currently, we are working to have all global Dow Corning locations externally verified to “practice-in-place” by the end of 2003. This means that all six of the Responsible Care Codes of Management Practices will be fully implemented and operating by that time.
