Dow Issues Sustainability Report, Sets Targets to Drive Toward a Circular Economy
Dow’s new sustainability targets, which align to and build on its 2025 Sustainability Goals, include a number of initiatives.
Dow recently outlined progress and results aligned to its 2025 Sustainability Goals in its “2019 Sustainability Report.” This represents the 17th consecutive year that Dow has issued a report on sustainability. The company also announced new commitments to address both climate change and plastic waste.
“Today’s announcement is the next step in our sustainability journey that began more than 30 years ago,” said Jim Fitterling, chairman and CEO. “Climate change and plastic waste are among the greatest technical, social, and economic issues the world has ever faced, and our products and technology are critical to addressing both. At Dow, we have a responsibility and an opportunity to lead in addressing these global challenges. A sustainable future is attainable, but only if we continue to tackle these issues head-on, hold ourselves accountable, and work together to enable new science- and technology-based solutions that directly address both climate change and plastic waste.”
