Dow has received a top score on the Disability Equality Index and is recognized as one of the “2024 Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion.” This is the eighth consecutive year Dow has received this recognition. The index is the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for the Fortune 1000 scope companies to measure disability workplace inclusion inside their organizations and assess performance across industry sectors.

Now in its tenth year, the Disability Equality Index was created by a diverse group of business leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates, in partnership with Disability:IN and The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), to help businesses make a positive impact on the unemployment/underemployment of people with disabilities. The index is acknowledged as the most robust disability inclusion assessment tool in business.

In 2024, 542 corporations, including 71 Fortune 100 and 220 Fortune 500 utilized the Disability Equality Index to benchmark their disability inclusion efforts.

"We are humbled to once again be recognized as a top performer on the Disability Equality Index” said John Sampson, executive sponsor for Dow's Disability Employee Network and senior vice president of operations, manufacturing and engineering. "This recognition shows Dow's commitment to an inclusive culture where individuals of every ability contribute, and where collectively all employees drive value. At Dow, we firmly believe that people with disabilities are an invaluable pool of talent that help move the Company forward.”
