Dow holds various other fundraisers for United Way of Brazoria County throughout the year, such as chili cook-offs, employee game nights, and book drives, to continue lending support for the many services they offer the community.

#PullingOurWeight

Together, we are catalyzing employee volunteerism, business partnerships and community connections, to inspire a circular ecosystem through the removal, transformation and prevention of waste in the environment. In the six years since Dow launched our #PullingOurWeight campaign, tens of thousands of colleagues, family members and stakeholder volunteers have collected more than 2.1 million pounds of waste from waterways and watersheds to neighborhoods as part of the largest single-cause volunteer effort in the company’s history.

Texas Operations Community Advisory Panel

Community Advisory Panels (CAPs) have been implemented at Dow sites all over the world to provide an opportunity for members and leaders of the communities in which Dow operates to learn about, and provide input on, Dow’s operations and community engagement. The objective is a transparent dialogue with the Dow CAP to obtain perspectives to help shape Dow’s decisions and strategies. It is also intended to increase community members’ understanding of Dow’s core values and global citizenship strategy to bring benefit through our business to the community.

Dow CAP membership is by invite and reflective of cross-sectional county leadership, including economic development, education, and political leaders. Dow uses CAP meetings to convene with high level leaders who have influence and can offer input to how Dow can proactively lead instead of being a "fast follower" and to exceed community expectations instead of just satisfying them. Focus is given to environmental health and safety, company performance, and community and policy engagement. The membership of this CAP is key business, community and political leaders from the region.
