INtersections: Dow's 2021 ESG Report

This Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report reflects Dow’s performance as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2021. The information in this report is presented on behalf of Dow Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including The Dow Chemical Company (collectively, “Dow”).

The report includes disclosures prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards Comprehensive option. The Comprehensive option requires that Dow report all the General Disclosures described in the GRI Standards. In addition to the GRI, this report references additional standards and frameworks, including the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and World Economic Forum (WEF) Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics. For more information about Dow’s approach to reporting, and indexes to each framework, click here.

This document also serves as Dow’s U.N. Global Compact Communication of Progress for 2021. This report has been reviewed by the Board of Directors of Dow Inc. In addition, Dow engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP to perform a review engagement on management’s assertion related to the ESG disclosures included in the GRI Content Index and the GHG Protocol Disclosure Report as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2021. See attached links for Deloitte’s GRI review and GHG Protocol review.

Dow’s 2021 ESG Report builds on its historic Sustainability Report (2019) and its historic annual Inclusion and Diversity Report, Shine (2019) . In 2020, Dow created our first consolidated ESG report – 2020 INtersections ESG Report – and we continued with this approach for 2021.
