REPORTING & DISCLOSURE TRACKING OUR PROGRESS DOW | REPORTING & DISCLOSURE | 125 Dow Disclosures – GRI Content Index Specific Actions In 2021, Dow outlined a clear path to achieving our target to be carbon neutral by 2050 while continuing to drive growth (Roadmap shown here): Roadmap to Reduce >90% of Scope 1 & 2 Carbon Emissions Dow’s Current Emissions ~35MM metric tons annually Target of ~5MM metric tons annually (15%) by 2030 Scope 3 Emissions Reduction Details & Target Through 2030 2030-2050 � Working with suppliers on upstream decarbonization opportunities, aligned with our Supplier Code of Conduct � Enabling customers to reduce emissions, amplifying our impact through design for recyclability, light-weighting, downgauging and lower carbon footprint delivery � Collaborating with Columbia University to better identify opportunities to value carbon savings from product benefits � Scope 1 & 2 emissions mostly from power and steam generation and olefins production � Target reducing these emissions by >90% by 2050 while enabling business growth � Site efficiency improvements and renewable power � On-purpose circular hydrogen: carbon capture and sequestration � Implement Alberta project and Terneuzen site carbon emissions reduction plans with government support � Optimize hydrogen (H 2 ) allocation and production � Additional carbon capture and storage capabilities � Retrofit turbines for H 2 fueling or electrical drivers � New cracking technologies � Leverage most competitive clean H 2 and zero-carbon emissions e-cracking technologies � Connect to H 2 infrastructure Plans for >60% sites to be H 2 -ready by ~2040 Actions targeted to incentivize innovation and infastructure to decarbonize the value chain • Announced plans for the world’s first net-zero carbon emissions ethylene and derivatives complex in Alberta, Canada. The project will involve upgrading existing infrastructure to enable the use of circular H 2 , clean energy, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). • Dow joined Together for Sustainability (TfS) in 2021. TfS is an industry group of chemical companies that focuses on supply chain sustainability. TfS is yet another integral connection with our suppliers, offering a shared space to collect ESG data and accelerate improvements in unison. See GRI 308-103 Supplier Environmental Assessment for additional detail. • Dow implemented energy efficiency and emissions-reduction projects, reducing energy consumption by 1,232,000 kilojoules (KJ)/year and amounting to 611,500 metric tons of CO 2 reduction. • Continued to advance cutting edge emissions-reduction technologies, such as low-carbon e-cracking technology. Through our partnership with Shell, Dow has secured funding from the government of the Netherlands to support a research-scale unit. • Achieved Leadership Level ranking on climate through the CDP and was selected as a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader. Dow has been reporting to the CDP for nearly two decades, showcasing our commitment to transparently reporting on energy and emission management and our climate protection strategies.
