MIDLAND, Mich. – Nov. 12, 2026 – Great Place To Work® has honored Dow (NYSE: DOW) as one of the World’s Best Workplaces™ in 2026. This is the fourth consecutive year Dow has earned this distinction.
“For decades, Dow’s culture has been defined by thinking differently, learning from one another, and pushing the limits of what’s possible,” said Karen S. Carter, Dow chief executive officer. “That mindset matters most in times of change – and Team Dow continues to rise to the moment. I’m proud of how our people support one another, contribute and make a difference for our customers, our shareholder, our communities and for our company.”
The World’s Best Workplaces list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, identified the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies can only be considered if they are a Great Place To Work Certified™ organization. They must also have 5,000 or more global employees and be identified as outstanding global employers with recognition on at least five Best Workplaces™ Lists in Asia, Europe, Latin America, Africa, North America, or Australia in 2025 or early 2026.
In the 2026 cycle, Dow was certified as a Great Place To Work in 11 countries and ranked on nine national Best Workplaces lists.
Organizations are assessed on their efforts to create great workplaces and positively impact people and communities across multiple countries. Companies must demonstrate how they generously and thoughtfully support employees with personalized support that meets their unique needs.
“Being recognized among the World’s Best Workplaces™ for the fourth consecutive year is especially meaningful as we navigate profound change within Dow and in the world around us,” said Alveda Williams, Ph.D., Dow’s chief inclusion and social impact officer. “We’re proud of the culture we’ve built together and Team Dow’s ability to adapt. As experiences evolve, our responsibility remains the same: to listen, act on what we hear and keep working to make Dow a place that employees choose with confidence.”
Michael C. Bush, the CEO of Great Place To Work shares, “Trust in the organization is the most valuable asset on your books. You can’t buy it or steal it, copy it from your competitors or replace it with AI. You have to earn it, each and every day, by showing up for your people. These companies prove that building trust is a proven way to grow in a highly unpredictable world.”
