In 2025, Dow's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 25.85 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were about 3.19 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 68.57 billion kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 included approximately 31.96 billion kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, and about 21.47 billion kg CO2e from the end-of-life treatment of sold products.

Looking back, in 2024, Dow's Scope 1 emissions were around 26.63 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 3.11 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were about 70.38 billion kg CO2e.

Dow has set significant climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its net annual Scope 1 and 2 CO2e emissions by 5 million metric tons (approximately 15%) by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. This target also represents a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 2005. Furthermore, Dow intends to be carbon neutral across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions (plus product benefits) by 2050. Dow also has a long-term goal to reduce over 90% of Scope 1 emissions by 2050 from a 2020 baseline.
