- Environmental Stewardship

For Dow, sustainable development is at the foundation of our relationships –  with employees, customers, communities, non-profit organizations and government agencies.

Sustainable development means meeting our current needs without compromising the viability of future generations. Our approach measures success with a “Triple Bottom Line” - corporate social responsibility economic prosperity, and environmental stewardship.

At Dow Louisiana, we’re committed to limiting the impact of our operations on the environment. Through DowGIVES, we contribute financial and volunteer resources to improve the environment everywhere we operate.

These are some examples of our commitment to environmental sustainability:
