With the reality of global security and safety challenges in the U.S. and around the world, Dow has taken an aggressive leadership role in driving voluntary initiatives across the industry and has been a leading proponent for risk-based security regulations for chemical facilities. We are actively engaged in partnerships on security, emergency response and information sharing with federal, state, local and international governments as well as with other private entities and stakeholders.
For Dow, this is a global responsibility every day. In the United States alone, we have more than 21,000 employees at 45 sites throughout the country. Worldwide, Dow operates more than 200 manufacturing sites in 38 countries. For the safety of our employees, customers and society, security at every level of the supply chain must be our greatest priority.
We believe that industry and government have a shared responsibility in enhancing security at chemical sites as well as in ensuring the safe transport of our products nationwide. Dow is working with government agencies and industry groups to share our expertise and help bring all chemical manufacturers to our standards, including leading chemical security measures such as the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care® Security Code, the Chemical Sector Cybersecurity Program, the U.S. Customs & Border Protection's Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TIPAT) and many more.
