Dow, a US-headquartered company in the Plastics Materials and Basic Forms and Shapes Merchant Wholesalers industry, has reported its global carbon emissions and set out ambitious climate commitments.

For 2025, Dow's total estimated carbon emissions are approximately 97.61 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of around 25.85 billion kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3.19 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 68.57 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2024, Dow's total emissions were approximately 100.12 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 26.63 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, around 3.11 billion kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and roughly 70.38 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. In 2023, the total emissions were about 97.34 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 26.77 billion kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 at about 3.20 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 67.37 billion kg CO2e.

Dow has committed to significant emissions reductions. The company aims to reduce its net annual Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 5 million metric tons (or 15%) compared to its 2020 baseline by 2030, representing a 30% reduction from 2005 levels. Furthermore, Dow intends to achieve carbon neutrality across all Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, including product benefits, by 2050. Specifically for Scope 1 emissions, Dow targets a reduction of over 90% by 2050 from its 2020 baseline.
