Human Element Campaign kicks off today!

Freeport, Texas - March 17, 2008

With this issue of The Facts, Dow’s Texas Operations is rolling out its first local Human Element advertisement. This series of ads will feature Texas Operations employees, the products they make right here in our community and the end uses of those products.

Our first ad features Hector Escalera, an operator at Texas Operations who has been at Dow producing products that make life better for five years. One of the most important issues to Texas, our nation and to the world is clean drinking water and as the ad states, Hector’s job is to safely produce chlorine, an essential product for clean drinking water.

The concept that Dow people working with others can improve the human condition remains the cornerstone of our Human Element effort. It is grounded in our 2015 sustainability commitments, which are intended to strengthen our relationships with the communities where we operate, continue to improve our product stewardship and innovation and reduce our global footprint.

Like Hector, Dow’s people embody the Human Element, and together, we will make a difference in our world.
