Dow's policy is to be lawful, highly-principled and socially responsible in all of its business practices. Dow expects employees to learn and comply with all company policies and laws applicable to their job responsibilities and to adhere to the guiding principles outlined in the Dow Code of Conduct.
In September 1998, Dow established the Office of Ethics and Compliance to reinforce the company's long-standing commitment to ethical business conduct. The office communicates the company's standards, provides guidance on issues related to ethical conduct and oversees mechanisms for action in this critical area.
The Dow Code of Conduct summarizes many of the ethical principles and policies created to deal with issues such as bribery, political contributions, equal employment opportunity, and environment, health and safety. All of us at Dow, no matter where we live, are expected to apply these principles in the daily performance of our job responsibilities.
The Dow EthicsLine is a toll-free line, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Dow EthicsLine is intended for those who wish to ask questions about Dow policy, seek guidance on specific situations, report violations of Dow's Code of Conduct or other unethical business practices.
For those in North America, the telephone number is 1-800-803-6862. For those outside North America, please visit www.dowethicsline.com for country-specific information and dialing instructions. Translation services are available. The communications specialists who answer your call are employed by an independent company and are trained to handle your call confidentially. In some countries, you may call the Dow EthicsLine anonymously if you prefer.
The Dow EthicsLine is also available in multiple languages on the web for individuals who may be more comfortable reporting their concerns in writing. The same confidentiality safeguards that are in place for telephone reporting are in place for this option as well. You can access the site at www.dowethicsline.com.
Alternatively, you can call the Dow Office of Ethics and Compliance directly at +1-989-636-2544 or Ethics@Dow.com.
