On 15 June Andrew Liveris, President, Chairman and CEO of the Dow Chemical Company, received the Inspired Leadership Award 2012. The award was presented to him by Geoff Colvin, Senior Editor-at-Large at Fortune Magazine and Chair of the Inspired Leadership Award Committee, at The Performance Theatre in London.
During his acceptance speech, Mr Liveris argued that advanced manufacturing was the key to sustainable long-term economic expansion, and that only by working together through the golden triangle of business, governments and civil society, will we see broad-based, sustainable growth which ripples across the entire economy.
“Clearly we face a moment of great challenge. But just as mankind has mastered the tools and technologies to harness the elements for our shared progress… we have, within our grasp, the ability to engineer a new model for growth… a model that exploits the market’s strengths and evens out its disruptions and disparities,” he told the audience.
