9 2021 | Dow Annual Report At Dow, we believe there is no science without creativity. No problem-solving without partnership. And no great discoveries without passionate people committed to make a difference. That’s why we will never stop wondering what we can make better – and dreaming how we can achieve it. 2022 marks Dow’s 125th anniversary. Since our founding in 1897, our company has existed to “do it better” – to make a material and positive impact on people’s lives. Our ability to meet our customers’ needs and innovate for society is built on science and an understanding of how molecules can shape our world. It also relies fundamentally on our capacity to imagine how to make the world better. In the coming year, we will explore how our ability to imagine better has helped transform our company, industries and the world – and how it continues to shape our future – through: INGENUITY AND INNOVATION As a leader in developing materials that transform the way we live, we are committed to creating products and systems that advance a sustainable future. Our hope is that the innovations we create today will help lay the groundwork to sustain our planet for the next 125 years and beyond. COMMUNITY AND CULTURE Inclusive, creative cultures and resilient communities don’t just happen. They are intentionally created. We have long considered investing in our people and communities – and creating a culture that recognizes and supports their growth – to be essential to our competitive advantage. PARTNERSHIP AND PROBLEM-SOLVING Solving problems at scale requires the ambition to tackle seemingly unsolvable global issues and the humility to recognize that no single entity can do it alone. It is through collaboration with diverse partners that we expand discovery and grow impact. Dow at 125:
