For helping ethnic minority employees break down barriers in the
workplace, five Dow leaders receive global recognition
Dow (NYSE: DOW) today announced that five leaders earned
recognition on three 2020 EMpower Ethnic Minority Role Model lists,
including Top 20 Advocates, 100 Ethnic Minority Executives, and 100
Ethnic Minority Future Leaders.
The EMpower Ethnic Minority Role Model lists showcase business
leaders who are breaking down barriers at work for ethnic
minorities in the U.K., Ireland, Europe, and people of color in the
United States and Canada. Honorees have achieved success in their
own careers, and actively use their platform to advance inclusion
in the workplace.
“Diversity in the workplace is a catalyst for business success,”
said Karen S. Carter, chief human resources officer and chief
inclusion officer. “And in order to attract and retain the best
talent worldwide, compete globally and deliver the most value to
our stakeholders, we are focused on creating an inclusive culture.
This recognition reflects the progress we have made, and we are
committed to striving for more.”

Inclusion & Diversity and has it as part of its DNA. I am able

recognition on the EMpower Ethnic Minority Role Model Lists are
critical to addressing racism, inequality, and injustice in
society. In a recent blog post, Fitterling wrote about the role of
allies and advocacy in overcoming these issues. In the blog post,
he also announced the implementation of Dow ACTs, a strategic
framework and action plan to help address systemic racism in the
U.S. focused on three areas: advocacy, community and talent. As
part of this commitment, Dow has pledged $5 million over the next
five years to help advance social justice and racial equality.
