Our ESG efforts aren’t just about improving and growing our business. They also are about building a more sustainable world and helping our customers and partners do the same.
It’s clear that the complex environmental, economic and social challenges our world faces cannot be solved with yesterday’s thinking. As we celebrate Dow’s 125th anniversary this year, we are reflecting on our heritage of eagerly taking on finding answers to the most pressing challenges and focusing on how we Imagine Better to build a strong foundation for a sustainable and equitable future. It is central to our purpose, to our growth strategy, and to driving best-in-class performance and accountability.
With that, I am happy to share Dow’s 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, “INtersections,” which offers a holistic look at how we’re advancing our ESG priorities. Within the report, you’ll find how we’re taking new and stronger steps to improve and account for our environmental performance, inclusion, diversity & equity (ID&E), corporate governance and community outreach. I hope you’ll take a look.

Across Dow, I’m excited about how our ESG priorities are acting as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration to create new products, new business models and new approaches to create value for all of our stakeholders.
From a governance standpoint, we are continuing to improve our transparency and accountability on all our ESG efforts. In 2021, we raised the bar in our ESG reporting and disclosures through improved carbon emissions and circularity reporting, and improved climate risk disclosures and greenhouse gas intensity metrics. And this is just a start. Within the report, you’ll find many stories about our continuing progress, and I couldn’t be more proud of all the hard work and dedication of Team Dow.
Our ESG efforts aren’t just about improving and growing our business. They also are about building a more sustainable world and helping our customers and partners do the same.
Together, we can build the foundation today to give all of us on our planet a better future.
