Innovation throughout Dow's History!
Our Innovation pillar started with the foundation of the company in 1897, guided by a Dow's founder Herbert H. Dow's phrase: "If we can't do better, why do it?" This is what drives Dow after more than a century of history, 45 of them spent in Brazil as well. This means going beyond and thinking that it is always possible to passionately innovate what is essential to human progress, as our company mission states.
Today, Dow is known as one of the most innovative companies in Brazil. We finished 4th place in the overall "Best Innovator - The Most Innovative Companies in Brazil," a ranking compiled by AT Kearney Consultants with the Época Negócios magazine, in addition to leading the "innovation process" category that evaluates whether a company is ready to receive proposals and develop innovation.
This last decade, we have made important achievements and received many recognitions for the solutions we developed to address the most pressing needs the world faces today.
