Sustainable Solutions for Government
As the U.S. government looks to develop policies in support of a cleaner energy future, federal agencies have been tasked to make changes in their own facilities.
To help policymakers, elected officials and government employees better understand and comply with this directive, Dow developed Sustainability Innovations for Government, a catalog highlighting Dow’s diverse portfolio of energy-saving, cost-reducing and life-extending products that can help every federal agency achieve its sustainability goals.

Energy has and will continue to be the catalyst for economic growth and prosperity. With the world's appetite for energy on the rise, forces such as increased price volatility and unreliable supply coupled with concerns about escalating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions threaten economic growth.
In the U.S., energy consumption is estimated to grow 14 percent by 2035, with fossil fuels providing 78 percent of all energy. Powering our homes, businesses and manufacturing facilities while slowing, stopping and ultimately reversing the growth of greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most daunting challenges facing our society today.
The Dow Energy Plan for America
Dow operates at the nexus of energy and manufacturing, using energy as a basic building block for modern materials that our society uses every day. As one of the largest energy users and providers of energy solutions and technologies, no has a greater stake in the solution - or a greater ability to have an impact on - the overlapping issues of energy supply, feedstock security and climate protection than we do.
Dow envisions a renewed economic future for America. A future powered by the same clean, affordable energy that our people and factories enable through innovative technologies and expertise. This future requires a comprehensive national energy and climate change policy that optimizes fossil fuels, accelerates the development of cleaner alternatives and balances economic, environmental and security concerns. We are committed and uniquely positioned to be a key contributor to the transition to a sustainable energy future.
