Policy on Product Counterfeiting

Dow AgroSciences believes that counterfeit and illegal products represent a significant threat to human health and the environment, jeopardize plant health and crop production and also pose an economic threat to international trade and the sustainability of the global food supply. We believe the threat posed by counterfeit and illegal products to be one of the most critical issues facing our industry today.

陶氏益农坚信伪劣和非法产品对人类的健康和环境是一个具大的威胁，危及到地球的环境健康和农业生产。同时在经济方面，也威胁着国际贸易和全球粮食供应。我们认为伪劣和非法产品是当今我们产业面对的最大的威胁之一。

Consistent with this recognition, Dow AgroSciences is committed to coordinated efforts – both within its own business and throughout the CropLife network of associations – toward a globally integrated industry approach to the entire value chain in advocating shared principles, positions and operational procedures; in calling government attention to this issue; and in closing loopholes allowing the sale of counterfeit products.

本着这一思想，陶氏益农不仅在公司内部，同时和植保国际协会共同协调努力，致力于对整个价值链打造全球一体化的做法，倡导共同的理念，立场和执行程序，以督促政府重视该问题，同时也堵住使售假得逞的漏洞。

This Dow AgroSciences policy is supported by a global management team charged with oversight and implementation of company-wide anti-counterfeiting initiatives. As central part of these initiatives, Dow AgroSciences commits to:

陶氏益农的这一政策得到全球管理层的支持，他们肩负着对整个公司打假项目的监督和执行的责任。作为这些项目的核心，陶氏益农致力于：

 •Pursue available legal remedies to have unauthorized materials removed from the market and to have those responsible for that traffic penalized;

 •Pursue technological innovations to better maintain the identify of Dow AgroSciences products;

These Dow AgroSciences initiatives are consistent with our company’s philosophy and policy on product stewardship. When customers buy our branded products, they have a right to expect that they are getting what they purchased, that it will perform as indicated and that the use precautions on the label do in fact offer them adequate protection.
这些陶氏益农项目和我们公司的理念以及产品责任政策是一致的。当顾客购买我们的产品时，他们有权知晓他们购买的是他们所期望的产品，这些产品应当和宣传的一致，并且包装上的标签为他们的用药安全提供适当的保护。

As part of our product stewardship and anti-counterfeiting policies, we feel a fundamental concern for health, safety and the environment and for all those who may come into contact with our products. We cannot – and will not – allow counterfeit materials to be sold under the guise of our label, and our business conduct will consistently reflect our concerted opposition to this illegal traffic.
作为我们产品责任和打假政策的一部分，我们对健康，安全以及环境和所有会接触我们产品的所有人有根本的关切。我们不能，同时也不会允许假冒产品在我们商标的掩护下在市场上销售，我们的业务准则也会相应地反映出我们对该非法行为的立场。
