This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, Dow's roadmap includes a significant initiative to decarbonise its global ethylene footprint by 20% through the Fort Saskatchewan Path to Zero project, which is expected to contribute to its overall emissions reduction strategy. Overall, Dow's climate commitments reflect a proactive approach to addressing climate change, with a clear focus on substantial reductions in carbon emissions and a long-term vision for sustainability.
