Dow Inc. (The Dow Chemical Company) scores 20/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Dow Inc. (The Dow Chemical Company) joint 772nd of 809 companies scored, and 10th of 10 in Chemicals.
Dow's sustainability record is defined by flat emissions, material water pollution violations, and unambitious targets. Scope 1 emissions are static; Scope 3 Category 10 is entirely omitted from disclosure. A pattern of chronic regulatory non-compliance at major US facilities—including the worst wastewater polluter designation and a Texas lawsuit for habitual violations—undercuts forward-looking commitments.
