Ashland’s Responsible Solvers™ program lauds women change agents inside and outside the company
March 08 2022 - 7:15AM
Ashland Global Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ASH) today highlighted critical
accomplishments of female employees via the Ashland Women’s
International Network (AWIN) and its annual Business Impact Award
winners. The celebration, which coincides with International
Women’s Day, is a vital component of the company’s Responsible
Solvers™ philanthropic program that puts the power of Ashland’s
people and products in the hands of its communities to responsibly
solve for a better world.
Each year, AWIN recognizes women employees for
their outstanding and noteworthy contributions to the company’s
bottom line. In 2021, seventeen women were selected from among
hundreds of nominations across the company, for their positive
contributions including: improving efficiencies and cost-savings;
solving a particularly complicated problem (internal or external);
providing business critical support to a major project or
initiative; or for delighting a customer beyond
expectations.
In recognition of this year’s 17 AWIN
recipients, the company donated $20,000 dollars to greenlight for
girls, an international non-profit organization dedicated to
inspiring girls of all ages and backgrounds to pursue science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects by introducing
them to the world of science in fun and exciting ways.
“Ashland is committed to the global,
philanthropic focus of our social agenda on STEM,” said Guillermo
Novo, chair and chief executive officer, Ashland. “Through our
corporate and regional Responsible Solvers™ program, we will
provide opportunities for more students at all levels to experience
STEM careers and expand the number of students pursuing advanced
degrees in STEM. Through our work, we also intend to broaden the
participation of women and minorities.”
"Through the Ashland Women’s International
Network (AWIN), we are raising the visibility of seventeen
exceptional women from across Ashland and recognizing their
positive contributions to our company,” said Novo. “This donation
supports the mission of greenlight for girls as well as the
academic institutions training the next generation of women
leaders. It also reinforces Ashland’s passion for STEM, its
pervasiveness in our lives and contributions to our business
success.”
Ashland plans to share more success stories and
best practices on these and other initiatives from Responsible
Solvers™ in the weeks and months to come.
