中國上海，2013年1月8日——道康寧大中華區(qū)總裁張康明（Jeremy Burks）日前被任命為國際化學(xué)品制造商協(xié)會（Association of International Chemical Manufacturers，簡稱AICM）主席，于2013年1月起生效。
張康明在AICM所擔任的新職責與道康寧公司長久以來把可持續(xù)發(fā)展原則貫穿在其經(jīng)營實踐中的承諾以及在中國化工行業(yè)內(nèi)積極推行 “責任關(guān)懷”（Responsible Care®）所作出的廣泛努力是一致的。“責任關(guān)懷”是一項全球倡議，為管理企業(yè)環(huán)境、健康與安全（EHS）體制提供了指導(dǎo)性框架。
張康明表示：“AICM致力于將國際最佳實踐引入中國化工行業(yè)，包括持續(xù)推動中國化工行業(yè)的責任關(guān)懷原則的發(fā)展和應(yīng)用，使其與全球化工產(chǎn)業(yè)水平持平。以負責任的方式制造并使用化學(xué)品的原則已經(jīng)在引領(lǐng)中國化工產(chǎn)業(yè)走向可持續(xù)發(fā)展的新紀元。”
作為道康寧大中華區(qū)總裁，張康明負責公司在大中華區(qū)的企業(yè)治理、合規(guī)性以及領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力發(fā)展。他還領(lǐng)導(dǎo)道康寧大中華區(qū)管理委員會，負責發(fā)展和執(zhí)行公司在中國的商業(yè)戰(zhàn)略。自2011年11月以來，他還擔任了AICM董事會成員一職。AICM董事會是一個行業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)團體，將廣泛的化工行業(yè)相關(guān)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力、管理和發(fā)展經(jīng)驗帶到中國。張康明也積極融入社區(qū)工作，最近剛榮獲由上海市政府所頒發(fā)的“白玉蘭”獎，以表彰他對上海做出的持續(xù)貢獻。
“‘責任關(guān)懷’在道康寧的全球價值觀中一直起著至關(guān)重要的作用。在中國，我們承諾負責任地發(fā)展，而我們在這一方面做出的努力在公司最近的松江工廠擴建項目中得以很好的體現(xiàn)。我們的松江工廠擴建項目旨在最大限度減少廢棄物，通過降低溶劑使用而減少環(huán)境足跡并在生產(chǎn)過程中循環(huán)利用資源。道康寧一直以來致力于將創(chuàng)新技術(shù)帶入中國，并在中國建立有機硅行業(yè)的高標準。作為AICM責任關(guān)懷委員會的兩個贊助成員之一，我們也將不斷努力鼓勵和支持我們的業(yè)界同仁，以負責任的方式制造和提供產(chǎn)品。” 張康明補充道。
1989年道康寧在美國首次對責任關(guān)懷作出承諾，隨后在1997年推動全球范圍內(nèi)的實施。該倡議采用嚴格的環(huán)境準則，為管理公司的EHS提供了框架。道康寧的張家港有機硅綜合生產(chǎn)基地自奠基之日起就嚴格遵守國際EHS標準。至今，它為所有員工提供高度的可靠性和安全性，并同時專注于最大限度地減少廢棄物的產(chǎn)生以及降低環(huán)境足跡。
該公司還定期與當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)和業(yè)界進行溝通交流，進而在中國幫助提升大眾對于EHS最佳實踐和環(huán)境保護的認識。張康明最近在一次AICM的網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程中進行了分享，主要強調(diào)了環(huán)境保護、保障員工的健康與安全，以及提供安全的工作場所之于維護化工行業(yè)聲譽的重要性。
AICM是一家代表了50多家在中國有重要投資的國際化工企業(yè)的行業(yè)組織。其使命是將國際最佳實踐介紹到中國，并通過推行“責任關(guān)懷”以及倡導(dǎo)實行成本有效、技術(shù)和風險控制型政策，進而推動中國化工行業(yè)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。
關(guān)于道康寧
道康寧公司(Dowcorning.com.cn)提供增強性能的解決方案，滿足全球25,000多家客戶的不同需求。作為有機硅，硅基技術(shù)和創(chuàng)新領(lǐng)域的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，道康寧通過Dow Corning® (道康寧)與XIAMETER®品牌提供7,000多種產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)。道康寧公司是一家由陶氏化學(xué)公司和康寧公司均等持股的合資公司。道康寧一半以上的銷售額來自美國以外地區(qū)。道康寧的全球業(yè)務(wù)積極響應(yīng)美國化學(xué)理事會發(fā)起的“責任關(guān)懷”倡議。該倡議旨在通過一套嚴格的標準，提高化學(xué)產(chǎn)品與工藝流程的安全管理水平。

Dow Corning Greater China President
Appointed AICM Chairman
Shanghai, China – Jeremy Burks, Dow Corning’s Greater China President, has been appointed Chairman of the Association of International Chemical Manufacturers (AICM) effective January 2013.
Burks’ new role at AICM is consistent with the company’s ongoing pledge to embed sustainable principles throughout its operations as well as its wider efforts to encourage the adoption of Responsible Care® - a global initiative providing the framework for managing a company’s Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) – in China’s chemical industry.
“AICM is dedicated to bringing the best international practices to China’s chemical industry and it continues to develop Responsible Care principles in parity with the global industry,” said Burks. “The principles of responsible manufacturing and use of chemicals are already guiding the local chemical industry toward a new era of sustainability.”
As the President of Dow Corning Greater China, Burks is responsible for the company’s corporate governance, compliance and leadership development in the Greater China region. He also currently leads the company’s Greater China Council that is responsible for developing and executing the company’s business strategies in China. Since November 2011, he served on AICM’s Boards of Directors which is a leadership team that brings an extensive knowledge of leadership, management and development in the chemical industry to China. Burks is also actively involved in the community and was recently awarded a Silver Magnolia Award by the Shanghai government in recognition of his ongoing contributions to the city.
“Responsible Care has played a vital role in Dow Corning’s global values, and in China, our commitment to responsible development is evident in our most recent expansion at the Songjiang site that minimizes waste, reduces environmental footprint through less use of solvents and on-site resources recycling,” added Burks. “Dow Corning is continually committed to bringing innovative technology and setting a high standard for the silicone industry in China. As one of the two sponsoring members on AICM’s Responsible Care Committee, we further endeavor to inspire and support our industry colleagues to manufacture and provide products in a responsible way.”
Dow Corning first pledged its commitment to the Responsible Care initiative in 1989 in the US and later promoted its global implementation in 1997. With a strong code of environmental conduct, the initiative provides the framework for managing the company’s EHS efforts. The company’s Zhangjiagang integrated silicone manufacturing site strictly adheres to international EHS standards since its ground-breaking. To date, it delivers high reliability and safety for all employees while focuses efforts on minimizing waste generation as well as reduces overall environmental footprint.
The company also regularly communicates with local communities and industry colleagues to raise awareness about EHS best practices and environmental protection in China. Burks recently participated in an AICM e-Learning session aimed at reinforcing the importance of protecting the environment, safeguarding employees’ health and safety, as well as upholding the chemical industry’s reputation as providing safe places to work.
AICM is an industrial organization which represents more than 50 major international chemical companies with significant business operations in China. It is dedicated to bringing the best international practices to China and contribute to the sustainable growth of its chemical industry through the promotion of Responsible Care® and cost-effective, science and risk-based policies.
