year, we reiterated Dow's commitment to reporting transparency as
well as sustainability disclosures. We also reaffirmed both our
bias for action and our corporate accountability, through bold
goals and measurable results. We are proud to be recognized as a
JUST company. It serves as a proof point that our values and
ambition are not just words on paper but how we are living as a
company."
