• Enable a corporate leadership culture that proactively supports safe chemicals management.
• Safeguard people and the environment by continuously improving our environmental, health and safety performance, facility security, and the safety of our products.
• Strengthen chemical management systems around the globe.
• Work with business partners to promote safe chemicals management within their own operations.
• Engage with stakeholders, respond to their concerns, and communicate openly on our performance and products.
