Dow - Protecting the Climate

 

Climate change is a critical challenge to our world and Dow’s business. We embrace our responsibility to help reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the impacts of climate change on natural ecosystems. Our approach to climate protection includes efforts to both mitigate and adapt to climate change.

Through our Decarbonize & Grow strategy, we have mapped a clear pathway to drive growth while also reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. We are also innovating ways to offer products that support our customers’ efforts to reduce their GHG emissions and to accelerate reductions along the supply chain. At the same time, we recognize the inextricable link between climate and nature. Our newly launched Water & Nature strategy is designed to achieve water resilience while also positively impacting the communities and ecosystems where we operate.

We invite you to explore recent articles on our efforts to help protect the climate.
