Dow

Dow, a US-headquartered company in the Plastics Materials and Basic Forms and Shapes Merchant Wholesalers industry, has reported its carbon emissions and committed to significant climate action.

For 2025, Dow's total reported greenhouse gas emissions are approximately 97.61 billion kg CO2e. This includes about 25.85 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 3.19 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 market-based emissions, and about 68.57 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. A notable portion of their Scope 3 emissions in 2025 comes from purchased goods and services (approximately 31.96 billion kg CO2e) and end-of-life treatment of sold products (about 21.47 billion kg CO2e).

Looking at previous years, Dow's total emissions were approximately 90.12 billion kg CO2e in 2024 (Scope 1: ~26.63 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: ~3.11 billion kg CO2e, Scope 3: ~70.38 billion kg CO2e) and about 97.49 billion kg CO2e in 2021 (Scope 1: ~28.39 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based: ~5.80 billion kg CO2e, Scope 3: ~87.77 billion kg CO2e).

Dow has set ambitious reduction targets. By 2030, the company aims to reduce its net annual Scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions by 5 million metric tons (approximately 5 billion kg CO2e) compared to its 2020 baseline, representing a 15% reduction from 2020 and a 30% reduction since 2005. Furthermore, Dow intends to achieve carbon neutrality across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 (plus product benefits) by 2050. They also target reducing Scope 1 emissions by over 90% by 2050. These targets are specifically detailed in documents such as their 2022 ESG Overview and 2023 Annual Report.
