Dow’s Integrated supply chain recognizes the importance of safe, secure and responsible operations throughout our value chain. It’s why we included sustainability as one of the four key tenants of our overall integrated supply chain strategy.

Driving safety & transportation stewardship
Eliminating waste in the supply chain
Reducing our transportation carbon footprint
From creating and improving training resources, to calculating and tracking the sustainability impact of various initiatives, we’re creating an ISC culture that inspires employees to pursue and prioritize more sustainable solutions across Dow’s supply chain.
Embracing digitalization, technology, and innovation will be critical to meeting Dow’s sustainability targets—and help us solve our biggest sustainability challenges with transportation, packaging, and waste.
We aim to use our influence to drive value chain improvements, be a supportive partner, and challenge the norm on how things have always been done in order to benefit people, profits, and our planet.
Our global supply chain has a green transportation strategy that helps us actively manage and reduce the impact of internal activities while driving and promoting sustainable logistics externally.
Dow recognizes logistics service providers for promoting and prioritizing sustainability. What’s more, our logistics footprint tracker helps measure and manage our transportation carbon footprint.
Dow is a pledged partner in Operation Clean Sweep (OCS), the international program that helps plastic resin handlers adopt practices to contain pellets, flakes and powder, protecting the environment and preserving valuable natural resources.
We’re committed to working with our manufacturing plants and Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) to implement OCS across the value chain. We also now require LSPs across the globe who actively handle plastic on our behalf to participate in OCS.
Dow’s Transportation Stewardship Program is committed to driving the industry toward a new standard of safety and security. To track our progress and help us meet our 2025 goalof eliminating severe transportation incidents, we focus on metrics in three categories: incident-free performance, leading-edge programs, and transportation risk across the value chain.
Our incident matrix enables us to weigh the human, environmental and community impacts and severities of any incidents caused by Dow.
We’re dedicated to recognizing employees who bring sustainable solutions into their Integrated Supply Chain (ISC) pillar areas. We recently introduced two global award programs that celebrate extraordinary supply chain improvements.
The ISC Excellence Award is an annual recognition for excellence in innovation, sustainability, operations, and inclusion/diversity/engagement. Dow’s quarterly C3 award showcases creative solutions and institutionalizes new ways of thinking and working.
