Corning takes unified approach to pandemic response
A tightly coordinated pandemic response effort from Corning’s global security group enabled the company to continue business operations while protecting its employees, locations and communities.
When the world started hearing rumblings of a virus with potential global scale late in 2019, Corning Incorporated was already aware of the situation and planning had begun.
“We had people on the ground in Wuhan (China), and one of our people in the security group called and said, ‘We are hearing of a virus and this could be a potential concern,’” recalls Matt Estep, Manager, Risk and Resiliency at Corning.
