As Executive Chairman of DowDuPont and Chief Executive Officer of The Dow Chemical Company, Andrew leads the charge at Dow to strengthen diversity and inclusion in the workplace. A vocal advocate, he calls for action to tackle inequality head-on within the company, as well as within communities and society. He was among the first to sign the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), rallying with 160 other companies to advance workplace equality. In addition, Andrew spearheaded plans this year to strategically increase the diversity of Dow’s supplier base and was most recently presented with the 2017 Global Leadership Award from the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC). The award recognizes honourees for creating inclusive business environments, integrating India in the global supply chain and advancing core values such as manufacturing, innovation and scale in tough market conditions. Under Andrew’s leadership, Dow has spoken out in opposition to contentious, discriminatory legislation in several states, including North Carolina, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas and the organisation maintains strong partnerships with several organizations, including: the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation, Out & Equal (O&E), PFLAG, Victory Institute, OUTstanding and GLAAD.
