Integrated Solution
Dow's products play a crucial role in the overall industry's emission reduction and carbon mitigation within the industrial chain. From a lifecycle perspective, many of Dow's products and solutions help customers reduce carbon emissions. For example, solutions for light-weighting in automobiles, energy-saving insulation materials, and improved packaging solutions to reduce food waste. Approximately 70% of Dow's carbon footprint falls under Scope 3, with more than half coming from purchased raw materials, transportation, and other services. CarbonNewture assists Dow in providing carbon neutral digital solutions on both the corporate and product levels, accelerating collaboration with suppliers, customers, and value chain partners. This support aims to enhance the quality and transparency of carbon emission data, introduce genuine product carbon footprint data from suppliers into upstream categories, and contribute to Dow's 2050 carbon neutral goal.
