Environmental Stewardship

Dow has long been recognized as a leader in Environment, Health and Safety because our performance demonstrates our commitment. Much of our success is because everyone is empowered to intervene to prevent an unsafe act. That applies to contract personnel as well. It is not just allowed, it is expected.

The empowerment culture, to make decisions at the lowest level in the organization, is providing improvement. We all strive to eliminate all injuries, prevent adverse environmental and health impact, reduce wastes and emissions, and promote resource conservation at every stage of the life cycle of our products.

Waste Reduction Always Pays (WRAP) is not just a slogan. At Houston Operations, we have reduced chemical emissions by 78% from 1994 through 2005.

We are committed to operating our facility safely and minimizing all environmental impact so that we sustain operations here indefinitely and improve our community.
