Building inclusive communities

Empowering Thai communities

Dow Thailand Group encourages employees to use their skills and knowledge to benefit the local
communities and broader society. We want to make a more inclusive world where no one is left behind.

Employee Resource Groups (ERG)
ERG, or Employee Resource Groups, is an
association similar to an employee club. To promote
diversity and inclusion, Dow Thailand employees are
encouraged to embrace the differences of people
across race, religion, culture, age, creed, and
gender. This leads to an understanding and open-
mindedness to celebrate diversity. Dow Thailand
Group has 5 active ERGs as follows:

social and cultural interests

diversity

experience
Neighbor care program
● RISE, a group for new employees
For more than 8 years, the "Neighbor Care"
● WIN (Women's Inclusion Network), an advocacy
program has encouraged Dow's employees to
and support group for working women
