Andrew Liveris, chairman and chief executive officer of The Dow
Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW), was presented today with the 2017
Global Leadership Award from the U.S.-India Business Council
(USIBC).
The award was presented to Liveris and Adi Godrej, chairman of
the Godrej Group, by John Chambers, USIBC chairman and executive
chairman of Cisco, during USIBC’s 42nd Annual Leadership Summit in
Washington, D.C. – a prestigious event gathering senior business
executives and high-ranking political officials, including Vice
President Mike Pence. The award recognizes honorees 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.
“On behalf of Dow employees around the world who work every day
to strengthen the U.S.-India partnership to create
mutually-beneficial, sustainable value, I am honored to accept this
award,” said Liveris. “Advanced manufacturing technologies from Dow
and other partners have a pivotal role to play as Prime Minister
Modi continues to transform the dynamic Indian economy, including
economic diversification, sustainable growth and innovation.”
This event aligned with Prime Minister Modi’s first meeting with
President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. to discuss bilateral
partnership and common goals of promoting cooperation on trade and
economic partnership. Liveris’ recognition reflects his leadership
on core U.S.-India political goals, including mutual interest in
promoting more value-add domestic manufacturing.
Through President Trump's Manufacturing Jobs Initiative, Liveris
is working to help identify new ways to spur innovation, revitalize
the U.S. manufacturing sector, and drive economic growth and
prosperity. To this end, he has led Dow to collaborate with
governments on Advanced Manufacturing Plans, including co-chairing
the manufacturing committee of the USIBC, which promotes specific
areas to progress Prime Minister Modi’s Make it in India
initiatives.
Past USIBC Global Leadership Award honorees include: Jeff Bezos,
founder and CEO of Amazon; Dilip Shanghvi, founder and managing
director of Sun Pharmaceuticals; Indra Nooyi, chairman and CEO of
PepsiCo; and Shobhana Bhartia, chairperson and editorial director
of the Hindustan Times Group.
