REPORTING & DISCLOSURE TRACKING OUR PROGRESS DOW | REPORTING & DISCLOSURE | 182 Dow Disclosures – GHG Protocol Disclosure Report Scope 1 Emissions by GHG GHG Emissions 2021 Scope 1 (MT) 2021 Scope 1 Total (MT CO 2 e) 2020 Scope 1 (Base Year) Total (MT CO 2 e) Carbon Dioxide 27,470,000 27,470,000 27,630,000 Methane 19,000 570,000 1 519,000 1 Nitrous Oxide 580 159,000 251,000 HFCs 60 94,000 85,000 1 Assumes all methane emissions are “fossil” and uses associated emissions factors provided in the IPCC AR6 report. Conservative method as non-fossil methane emissions has a lower GWP factor. Note: Numbers are rounded for reporting purposes. Dow does not have emissions of PFCs, SF 6 , or NF 3 . Speciated emissions data is not available for Scope 2 accounting as suppliers provide the data to Dow in carbon dioxide equivalents. Dow will continue to work with suppliers to improve the information provided so the data can be reported in future reports. To include a complete and comparable emissions disclosure relevant to users of this information, Dow will continue to work with suppliers to improve the information provided so that speciated emissions data can be reported for both market-based and location-based Scope 2 accounting in future reports.

In addition, we included a carbon black feed in this category, which contributed a small but significant increase in downstream emissions. 4 The End-of-Life emissions in category 3.12 are due to an increase in revenue, which was used as a proxy to estimate the end-of-life emissions for sold products. 5 Dow does not currently have any downstream leased assets or franchises therefore these categories are not relevant for Scope 3 accounting.
