Collaborations to protect the climate

Supporting Thailand Business Council for Sustainable Development
Dow Thailand Group is a member of the Thailand Business Council for Sustainable Development
(TBCSD), which has a mission to "Promote sustainable and successful businesses in Thailand to help
them transition to a sustainable world." In 2020, Dow joined the Climate Change working group. It aims to
determine the direction and role of the business sector in solving climate change in Thailand. The group has
the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP) and the Thailand Greenhouse
Gas Management Organization (TGO) as advisors. The action plan consists of quarterly training for its members,
driving a low carbon business model, driving Thailand policies regarding climate change by collaborating
with ONEP and TGO and establishing a greenhouse gas reduction program as well as a long-term project to
increase greenhouse gas reservoirs.

Planting trees at Phudon on Paela hill
Dow has collaborated with Ban Chang
municipality to improve the landscape of the
Phudon forest on a small hill with beautiful
scenery called Paela. Flowers were planted along
the 2-kilometer road. Eventually, the trees were
increased to 1,200 and maintained until today. With
the cooperation of the local community, the trees
are prolific. The benefits are greenery added for
Rayong province, and awareness of environmental
conservation is raised.
