Dow, the global chemical company aims for carbon neutrality by 2050. However, analysis by Planet Tracker suggests Dow’s mid-term climate strategy is not ambitious enough to align with the well-below 2°C pathway, instead aligning closer to a 3°C warming scenario by 2030.
Based on Planet Tracker’s assessment, to meet the well-below 2°C pathway by 2030 and its 2050 carbon neutrality goal, Dow would need to set more ambitious reduction targets, clearly link its investments to emissions reductions, and improve transparency in its sustainability initiatives.
