Dow and Univar Solutions have struck a long-term agreement aimed at scaling the reach of low-carbon chemical solutions, in a move designed to accelerate decarbonization across multiple global industries.

 

Under the deal, Univar Solutions will distribute Dow’s Decarbia low-carbon products—backed by Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) certificates—across key sectors including beauty and personal care, home care, food, pharmaceuticals, and a broad range of industrial performance markets. 

 

The partnership extends an already established relationship between the two companies and significantly expands access to lower-carbon materials through Univar’s global distribution network, targeting rising customer demand and helping companies progress toward Scope 3 emissions reduction goals.

 

Dow’s low-carbon product footprints are calculated using a Carbon Footprint Ledger (CFL) methodology, which is limited assured under international PCF standards, including ISO14067 and the GHG Protocol Product Standard.

 

“At Dow, we are investing to develop low-carbon products at scale and to demonstrate that meaningful decarbonization is achievable across the value chain," said Brendy Lange, president of Performance Materials & Coatings at Dow. 

 

"This agreement deepens our collaboration with Univar Solutions and reflects our shared vision to accelerate value chain decarbonization while delivering value to customers. By combining Dow's Decarbia low-carbon product portfolio, supported by high-integrity, verifiable PCF data, with Univar Solutions' strong global distribution network, we are helping customers advance their sustainability goals with confidence."

 

“We are excited to broaden access to low-carbon products through this collaboration with Dow," said David Jukes, president and chief executive officer for Univar Solutions. 

 

"By offering third-party verified low-carbon options, we can deliver more impactful supply chain alternatives across our customer base and support meaningful Scope 3 emissions reductions. As a global chemical and specialty ingredients distributor, we are well positioned to bring a comprehensive portfolio of sustainable solutions to market."

 

Both companies said they will continue investing in sustainable product development as demand for low-carbon solutions accelerates, positioning the agreement as the next phase in a longer-term collaboration focused on delivering both immediate and future decarbonization tools for customers.
