The Dow Chemical Company

Dow Inc., headquartered in the US and operating in the Plastics and basic chemicals industry, reported approximately 26.6 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, 3.1 billion kg CO2e in market-based Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 82.2 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions for 2024. Its Scope 3 emissions in 2024 notably include approximately 40.0 billion kg CO2e from purchased goods and services and 20.8 billion kg CO2e from the end-of-life treatment of sold products.

Dow has set several climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its net annual carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 5 million metric tons, or about a 15% reduction, by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. This target also applies to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions individually. For 2020, Dow announced a similar multi-decade carbon target to reduce its net annual carbon emissions by 5 million metric tons, or approximately a 15% reduction, against a 2020 baseline for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Dow has a long-term aspiration to be carbon neutral across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3, plus product benefits) by 2050. Additionally, the company aims to obtain 750 MW of its power demand from renewable sources by 2025. Dow Benelux, a subsidiary, aims for a 42.5% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions (1.7 million metric tonnes CO2) by 2030 at its Terneuzen site, and a 95% reduction in operational CO2 emissions from the Terneuzen facility by 2050. Dow's group-level target for Scope 1 and 2 is a 2 million metric tonne CO2 reduction by 2025 and 5 million metric tonne CO2 reduction by 2030, against a 2020 baseline. All emissions data and reduction targets are inherited from the parent company, The Dow Chemical Company.
