Our sustainability reporting reflects our commitment to continuous improvement, leadership and transparency.
Our approach to reporting
We are committed to frequent and transparent reporting about our sustainability challenges, successes and progress.
Dow regularly engages with stakeholders to identify material issues and how they impact our value chain.
We follow the Global Reporting Initiative framework in addition to the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact.
Our reporting is prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Comprehensive Option. Furthermore, we are committed to ensuring our sustainability reporting is third-party verified.
