DOW | 2021 ESG REPORT | 67 COMMUNITY INVESTING IN OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK Building Inclusive Communities Dow is building inclusive communities by engaging Dow Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), supporting educational programs to help build the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) talent pipeline for Blacks, and engaging in strategic partnerships to help address systemic racism and inequity in Dow communities. To date, we have committed $13 million through Dow ACTs to address systemic racism. Assisting Children in Need in Mexico Fundación Teletón México is an organization that assists children with disabilities and their families. As part of their actions to raise awareness and promote inclusion and sustainability, they created the Reciclatón program. Thanks to volunteers from Dow’s Disability Employee Network (DEN), manufacturing sites, offices in Mexico and companies aligned to the cause, the 2021 campaign collected more than 200 tons of solid waste. By valuing the collected waste, Fundación Teletón México helps its beneficiaries continue their specialized medical treatment. Volunteers come together after collecting waste to support the Reciclatón program.
