Corporate Governance

Strong corporate governance is an integral part of Dow's core values, and the company is committed to applying sound corporate governance and leadership principles and practices. It helps us create and maintain a culture that supports long-term success, strengthens decision-making and builds trust in our company.

Our approach


We maintain an independent and diverse Board of Directors with balanced backgrounds and relevant skills and experiences. Strong governance practices are supported by a balanced leadership structure, including a Lead Director
with a clear role and substantive responsibilities.


We align our strategy and goals to our largest areas of enterprise risk and opportunity, with clear Board oversight and responsibility. Our compensation programs are designed to support our business and environmental, social and governance priorities. 


We ensure a culture of integrity through an effective code of conduct and ethics and compliance program. We engage regularly and respond to feedback from a wide variety of stakeholders, including stockholders, customers, suppliers and employees.
