George Hays's Company Details
The World Corrosion Organization (WCO) is a not-for-profit charitable 501(c)3 umbrella organization representaing 28 societies with significant interest and activity in corrosion research and abatement on five continents with a combined membership of more than 50,000 professionals in the field. The WCO is an NGO associated with the United Nations. Our Mission:To promote education and best practices in corrosion control for the socio-economic benefit of society, preservation of resources, and protection of the environment.Our Goals:To raise public awareness of corrosion and corrosion control: to develop and implement a Corrosion Awareness Day that is recognized worldwide in the way we recognize Earth Day (April 22nd). A worldwide Corrosion Awareness Day (April 24th) will help create public awareness of corrosion and what the public – individuals – can do to control it.To identify world best practices in corrosion management: to identify what are the best practices; that is, those practices which should always be used by the industrialized world. However, in many parts of the world, countries lack the resources to put in place what the industrialized world agrees are best practices and determine what would be the best practices most suitable for their socio-economic conditions. To facilitate the provision of corrosion control expertise to governments, industries, and communities: to work with the International Corrosion Council to make this information available particularly in the developing world. To normalize corrosion-related standards worldwide: to harmonize the standards that are already in use.
