Dow initiated its Product Stewardship Academy, with outreach in Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana, to promote product safety. The Dow Product Stewardship Academy is about recognizing the needs of emerging countries. The program builds on Dow’s long-standing Product Stewardship program by providing hands-on training as well as support and mentoring to distributors and customers to ensure that Dow products are handled and used in a safe and sustainable manner.
The company’s academy in Africa completed EH&S assessment for all customers in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria, as well as conducted initial trainings, assessed Dow sales in these regions for hazardous materials that will prioritize training needs, and engaged country authorities as partners. The goal is to expand the program to other regions through 2025 and beyond to enable responsible and sustainable business growth that also ensures the safety of humans and the environment.
