In recognition of his work as an advocate for manufacturing’s
role in the long-term economic vitality of the United States and
for his commitment to international business growth through
building trade and investment ties, The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE:
DOW) Chairman and CEO Andrew Liveris was honored with the 2011
International Leadership Award by pro-trade organization the United
States Council for International Business (USCIB).
“At a time when international business has never been more
dynamic, it is essential for all of us – citizens, businesses and
our government – to embrace the new reality that we have to make
strategic choices about our future and how we want it to unfold,”
Liveris told the audience during his keynote address at the award
ceremony in New York on November 16. “We must, without hesitation,
venture to build bold public-private partnerships that will enable
us to achieve the necessary transformation – because we cannot
accomplish this alone.”
Liveris is the 31st recipient of the USCIB International
Leadership Award. In 2011, Liveris was appointed co-chair of
President Obama's Advanced Manufacturing Partnership in the United
States. He is the author of the book "Make It in America," which
presents a powerful case for the critical role domestic
manufacturing will play in the long-term health of the U.S.
economy, and defines a clear path on multiple public policy issues
including infrastructure, cutting edge research & development
and regulatory reform in civil justice. Furthering global
advancements for Dow, Liveris also initiated a joint venture with
Saudi Aramco to build and operate one of the world’s largest
integrated chemical facilities, the largest ever built in a single
phase.
“We are thrilled to honor Andrew for his commitment to global
business and to reviving the American manufacturing sector as a
pathway to job growth and long-term prosperity,” said USCIB
Chairman Harold McGraw III, chairman, president and CEO of The
McGraw-Hill Companies. “Andrew’s leadership at Dow and on important
public policy issues has distinguished him as one of the global
business community’s leading voices.”
