• This reflects Dow's holistic approach to climate protection, considering both climate change mitigation and adaptation

MIDLAND, MI / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2024 / Dow (NYSE:DOW) today announced it will expand its Protect the Climate targets by setting distinct milestones for climate change mitigation that focus on water and nature conservation. These targets include:

• By 2030, Dow will implement a robust land management strategy, its top 20 water-dependent sites will have water stewardship plans, and 10 of those sites will be water-resilient.
• By 2035, all Dow sites will have water stewardship plans.
• By 2050, Dow will partner to conserve 50,000 acres of habitat and its top 20 water-dependent sites will be water-resilient.

As a science-based company, Dow understands the impact that rapidly changing climate and socio-economic conditions are having on water and nature. The new Water & Nature strategy is designed to support resiliency for its sites and surrounding natural ecosystems to be able to withstand unpredictable conditions, such as drought and flooding.

Dow is uniquely positioned to apply its materials science expertise and advanced engineering capabilities for the benefit of water resiliency and healthy ecosystems. Its new strategy focuses on three main areas:

• Sustainably managing site footprint, supporting business continuity through world-class water stewardship and positively impacting habitat through smart land management;
• Engaging the entire supply chain, working to reduce the demand and impact on water and nature ecosystems; and
• Innovating with customers and value chain partners, deploying research and development (R&D) for products and solutions that are better for water and nature.
