2005 Goals Update

At Dow, protecting people and the environment is part of everything we do and every decision we make. Each employee has a responsibility to ensure that our products and operations meet applicable government or Dow standards, whichever is more stringent.

Our goal is to eliminate all injuries, prevent adverse environmental and health impacts, reduce wastes and emissions, and promote resource conservation at every stage of the lifecycle of our products. We will report our progress and be responsive to the public.

For a complete listing of Dow policies, see Dow’s Code of Business Conduct.

In 1996, we publicly announced aggressive, voluntary, global EH&S Goals for the Year 2005. While we continue to make progress as compared against our baseline year, several of our goals will require additional attention and action.
