REPORTING & DISCLOSURE TRACKING OUR PROGRESS DOW | REPORTING & DISCLOSURE | 104 Dow Disclosures – GRI Content Index Supplier Engagement Suppliers are engaged frequently throughout the year through calls, emails and surveys. Dow also has several methods of engagement with our suppliers to advance our our strategy and ESG priorities: • Se veral efforts are underway to embed ESG into supplier engagement activities. ESG criteria will be integrated into all requests for proposals, tenders, contracts and supplier relationship management strategies. A key foundation of this is to enable Dow’s Purchasing team to access robust ESG data, placing sustainability as a meaningful metric in the decision-making matrix. • Dow partnered with Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to collect climate data on 100+ key suppliers. • Partnering with TfS, we engage with suppliers in a streamlined and strategic way, leveraging the work of our industry peers and contributing our own outlook on sustainability supply chains. Dow is also collaborating with groups like the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and World Economic Forum to develop robust methodologies for data sharing along supply chains, allowing Dow to access high-quality data from our suppliers and provide the same level of quality to our customers. • Dow’s Logistics Supplier Award Programs (S4TAR & DowGOL) are designed to encourage and recognize Dow’s logistics partners for excellent performance in the areas of safety, sustainability, social responsibility and service. Dow’s goal with logistics supplier awards is to drive operational and sustainability excellence by sharing and recognizing best practice with its supply chain partners. Employee Engagement Employees are engaged frequently throughout the year through surveys, emails, intranet postings, individual conversations, meetings, training and other mechanisms. • At least twice a year, employees are invited to provide input through our annual Voice “all employee” survey, and through quarterly pulse surveys. Topics on these surveys are focused on employee satisfaction with company strategic direction, inclusion, wellness and safety, tools and technology, and leader effectiveness. • An overall measure of Employee Experience – based on feelings of pride, inspiration and belonging – is tracked each quarter. • Employees may provide input and comment on Dow Connect (internal online news portal), through townhalls and through Q&As and quarterly “all employee” updates (Dow World News). • Numerous opportunities are provided for employees at all levels to provide input into ESG practices and strategy. All leaders with direct reports, as well as influential leaders, are engaged on a regular basis through our annual LEAD programming. This program kicks off the year with a virtual conference covering company strategy and priorities, and in-depth discussions with internal and external experts on key topics such as Reliability, People and Culture, and Sustainability. During quarterly broadcasts for leaders, there is time for Q&As with the ELT. In addition, when there are timely topics, special forums are hosted for leaders to hear about the updates, ask questions and discuss. During the past year, some topics that have been influenced by direct employee input and the above listening mechanisms include the company’s work flexibility approach (Design your Day), updates to leave policies (parental, ERG and Volunteerism time-off), and wellness offerings.
