Through its 2025 Sustainability “Valuing Nature” Goal, Dow is committed to finding $1 billion by 2025 in business value from projects that are good for business and better for ecosystems. One of the seven 2025 Sustainability Goals, the Valuing Nature goal is an innovative approach by a corporation to consider nature in all of its business decisions.
The Valuing Nature Goal builds on work Dow has done in partnership with The Nature Conservancy that began in 2011. Scientists, engineers and economists from both organizations have worked together to create tools to assess the various services that nature provides to Dow operations and the community. Those ecosystem services include water, land, air, oceans, and a variety of plant and animal life.
