Dow was awarded five-stars, the highest rating, in the areas of Employment and Governance in the 2023 Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR) Corporate Inclusion Index.

The HACR Corporate Inclusion Index (CII), is a research initiative that measures Hispanic inclusion in the C-suite, corporate boardroom, supplier base, mid- and entry-level employee pipeline and philanthropic sphere.

The HACR CII ratings are designed around practices and outcomes assessments in four focus areas: Employment, Procurement, Philanthropy and Governance.

“We are proud that Dow has earned this award for the second year in a row,” said Mauro Gregorio, President of Performance Materials & Coatings at Dow and executive sponsor of Dow’s Hispanic and Latin Network (HLN) employee resource group. “This recognition is a testament to Dow’s commitment to increasing the representation and inclusion of Hispanic talent. Our diverse teams and inclusive culture are the cornerstone of our competitive advantage, fueling innovation, driving our growth and enabling us to deliver more sustainable solutions to benefit people and the planet.”

Dow joined HACR in 2021 further enhance the representation, development, and advancement of Hispanic and Latin talent within the Company. This initiative was aligned to the HLN’s mission to recruit, develop, retain and sponsor talent at Dow.

“On behalf of HACR’s board of directors, we applaud Dow for taking our survey as a way to measure their Hispanic inclusion,” said HACR President & CEO Cid Wilson. “By investing in the Hispanic community, businesses like Dow are providing long-term shareholder value by building a more inclusive future for their employees, suppliers and customers.”
