WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH) has been recognized with the Commitment to Life Award in the Human Rights category by Natura&Co for Ashland’s Responsible Solvers sustainable guar farming and education program using science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to train men and women farmers in Rajasthan, India.
