Dow’s Valuing Nature goal is a commitment to systematically consider nature in its business decisions.
Dow recently announced that it has reached a milestone, achieving $500 million of savings from its Valuing Nature goal. This is halfway to the company’s 2025 Sustainability Goal to deliver $1 billion in business value from projects that enhance nature. One of seven 2025 Sustainability Goals Dow launched in 2015, which align to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Dow’s Valuing Nature goal is a commitment to systematically consider nature in its business decisions.
Through this goal, Dow has committed to deliver $1 billion in value, primarily through avoided costs, from projects that are both good for business and for ecosystems. By considering operational interfaces with nature, capital costs and long-term operational and maintenance costs can be lowered. The company also committed to screen all capital and real estate projects, business development projects, and new product innovations for potential sustainability benefits and impact.
