Our employees are passionate about contributing positively to the communities in which we operate and Dow believes that part of providing an outstanding working environment for our people includes a commitment to do just that. Through charitable and volunteer efforts we aim to enhance the communities in which we live and work, build new relationships with one another and provide new ways to engage our employees and strengthen their connection to our organization.

Dow Promise

Dow Promise is an employee-led initiative which provides educational and extra-curricular activities to foster the development of children in African-American communities near Dow sites, where economic and educational challenges may be barriers to success. Through Dow Promise, employees are contributing to both our company’s reputation and the quality of life in our communities.

Employee Volunteer Program

In Canada, the Employee Volunteer Program allows employees to select the organization they would like to volunteer with and then apply to receive as much as $500 to support that effort. This allows employees to direct their efforts toward causes to which they feel personally connected and are personally invested, which makes the impact that much more meaningful and profound.

Diversity and Inclusion Forums in Europe

Dow’s partnership with the European Commission has enabled us to conduct our Diversity and Inclusion Forums with university students in Spain and partner with other companies to support women’s advancement in science and technology.

These are just a few examples of how Dow employees around the world take to heart their ability to create positive and meaningful change in the communities where they live and where we do business.

“When corporations and their employees support their communities, they enable the growth and development of those communities. This is a partnership that enables us to maintain our license to operate.”
