Dow announced today that for the third year it has been named to the JUST 100 list and this year has earned the top spot in the Chemicals sector overall as well as the number one position in the Workers and Stakeholders & Governance categories versus industry peers.

Published annually by JUST Capital, the JUST 100 showcases companies doing right by all their stakeholders which includes employees, customers, communities, the environment, and shareholders.

This marks the second consecutive year Dow has earned the top spot in its industry in the Workers category, highlighting the Company's commitment to pay a fair and livable wage; invest in workforce training; protect worker safety; cultivate a diverse and inclusive workplace; and provide benefits and work-life balance.

"The issues that matter most to our colleagues and to all our stakeholders are the issues that matter most to Dow," said Jim Fitterling, Dow chairman and CEO. "With the release of our first-ever integrated ESG report last year, we reiterated Dow's commitment to reporting transparency as well as sustainability disclosures. We also reaffirmed both our bias for action and our corporate accountability, through bold goals and measurable results. We are proud to be recognized as a JUST company. It serves as a proof point that our values and ambition are not just words on paper but how we are living as a company."
