Message from
the president
Since 1995, Dow has announced our sustainability goals and been continuously working to achieve
them. Today, we are in the third set of our ten-year Goals (2016-2025), which focus on cooperation across all
sectors in order to lead the world and society towards sustainability in line with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
In 2020, Dow announced new sustainability targets to address both climate change and plastic waste,
two of the world's biggest economic, social, and environmental problems. The targets are to reduce net annual
carbon emissions by 5 million metric tons, or 15% from its 2020 baseline and enable a minimum of 1 million
metric tons of plastic to be collected, reused or recycled by 2030. We will also ensure that 100% of our
products sold into packaging applications must be reusable or recyclable by 2035.
Dow Thailand Group believes that sustainable innovation and collaboration across all sectors are the
solutions to making these goals a reality. We are committed to developing innovations that will help promote
people's quality of life while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste through our scientific expertise
and working together with customers, partners, and organizations with the same sustainability goals in mind.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 epidemic, Dow Thailand Group continued to operate safely and
reliably respond to the needs of our customers. Dow employees and related stakeholders maintained good
occupational safety without recordable accidents or injuries throughout the year. In addition, we continued
to undertake sustainability projects and ongoing social activities with strict COVID-19 preventive measures.
Moreover, the company's resources were utilized to alleviate the pandemic situation in Thailand.
Amid the storm, only trees with strong roots will stand and be able to grow. Thank you for your kind
support to Dow over the difficult past year. I genuinely hope that we will continue to work together in taking
care of the environment and looking forward to overcoming the pandemic and promoting the well-being of
all Thai people hand in hand with you.
Warm Regards,
Chatchai Luanpolcharoenchai
President of Dow Thailand Group
