Back to Partnership for Prevention

CEO's on Prevention


Andrew N. Liveris
President and CEO
The Dow Chemical Company

“I believe that we need a sustained focus on prevention to maintain and improve the health of our people. Prevention has the power to make a real and lasting difference in our individual quality of life.

“At Dow, our analysis shows that prevention can improve both our direct and indirect health-related costs. Our profit potential is inextricably linked to the capability and performance of our employees.

“Our actions demonstrate Dow’s strong commitment to prevention and to the health of our employees and retirees, their families, and ultimately, the community. Our efforts include preventive-focused company policies, a comprehensive health promotion program, a health care benefit plan which supports preventive care, and collaborations with external partners.

“We have recently strengthened our commitment to this effort by adopting a Dow health strategy with prevention as a major pillar in the overall plan.”


Anne M. Mulcahy
Chairman and CEO
Xerox Corporation

“We believe continued education and empowerment will ultimately translate to lower costs for us all—and better health for our people.”
