Recognized as Materials Sector leader for the fifth year
Dow has been named one of the 50 most community-minded companies in America and the materials sector leader on The Civic 50 opens in a new tab survey conducted by Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to increasing volunteering.
“At Dow, we believe that volunteerism is a powerful force – not only enriching the employee experience through purpose and connection, but also strengthening the bonds we share with our communities and customers,” said Rebecca Bentley, Dow's global vice president of Public Affairs and Dow Company Foundation director. “Being recognized for the fifth consecutive year is a testament to our people’s passion and our company’s commitment to creating a better future for our communities and strengthening connections with all our stakeholders.”
The Civic 50 aligns with Dow’s focus on sustainability and social impact, recognizing the value community investments and engagement create for employees, customers and communities. Dow’s Global Citizenship strategy is rooted in three strategic priorities: Thriving Communities, STEM & Skilled Trades and Sustainability. These priorities are enabled through powerful collaborations with community organizations and purpose-driven volunteer programming, which helps the Company create an intentional and measurable impact.
“In an ever-evolving landscape, companies are looking to ensure that they can meet the needs of their communities, customers, and stakeholders,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO, Points of Light. “Companies like Dow are leading the way in showing how social impact benefits their employee’s well-being, strengthens the communities where they do business, and brings value and meaning to their work. Their efforts provide a model for others looking to bring the benefits of volunteering and social impact to their workforce and they’re extremely deserving of this recognition.”
