Protecting the climate

Carbon
Reduction

Dow Thailand Group has responded to new sustainability targets in 2020 in terms of protecting
the climate at both strategic and operational levels. We plan to concretely meet our goal of reducing
carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from the company's operations. We communicate and develop better
understanding among employees at all levels with an internal campaign to raise awareness throughout
the organization. We have also appointed a full-time employee responsible for CO 2 reduction, addressing our
commitment to achieving our sustainability goals.

Dow operations - carbon reduction programs
Despite the COVID-19 situation, Dow has remained committed to reducing direct carbon emissions
from Dow's production. 87 projects were implemented in 2020, including ongoing ones since 2015

and new projects initiated in 2020. As a result, in 2020, Dow has reduced 93,000 metric tons of CO 2
emissions from operations, equivalent to planting 9.3 million trees per year.
