These principles are woven throughout The Diamond Standard — Dow's Code of Business Conduct (the "Code"). All employees of Dow and its subsidiaries, including those with direct responsibility for supply chain management, are expected to know and abide by this Code. Rigorous training on the content and application of the Code is mandatory for each and every employee, and each employee must periodically acknowledge that they have read and agree to comply with the Code. Dow takes seriously and fully investigates all potential legal or Code violations, in a respectful, confidential and fair manner. When an allegation of an employee Code violation is substantiated, an appropriate management team is convened to review the investigation findings and determine a final outcome. Consistent with the severity of the violation, discipline can include verbal or written warning, suspension with or without pay, loss or reduction of bonus or stock options, demotion or, for the most serious offenses or repeated misconduct, employment termination. Dow's Code states: Respect for human rights and dignity is a cornerstone of our business. We do not use forced or involuntary labor. We comply with all applicable child labor laws. Dow's commitment, however, does not end here, as Dow's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Liveris, states, "We believe it is also our responsibility as a corporate citizen to extend these Values [reflected in The Diamond Standard] well beyond our corporate walls." To this end, in March 2011 Dow unveiled its Code of Business Conduct for Suppliers (the "Supplier Code"), which clearly articulates the basic principles for supplier conduct when working with Dow. The Supplier Code was sent to over 35,000 Dow suppliers worldwide in March 2011 and . Among other things, the Supplier Code sets forth Dow's expectations with respect to Human Rights and Labor: This website uses Cookies to provide you the best experience.
