2014 Annual Report 19
Water
DOW FILMTEC™ ECO
Reverse Osmosis Technology
40 percent better purification with
30 percent less energy, addressing
water scarcity
Energy and Climate Change
BETAMATE™ Structural Adhesives
23.3 million metric tons of CO2
emission avoidance and 10 billion
liters of gasoline savings since
their introduction
Health
Dow and Unilever’s collaboration on
LIFEBUOY™ Soap featuring DOW
POLYOX™ Water-Soluble Polymers
Up to 50 percent reduction in
preventable disease by hand-
washing with soap
Sustainable Chemistry
Goal: Increase percentage of sales to
10 percent for products that are highly
advantaged by sustainable chemistry
The percentage of sales from Dow
products that are highly advantaged
by sustainable chemistry increased
from 7.1 percent in 2012 to 10 percent,
or $5.7 billion, in 2013 — reaching
our 2015 Sustainability Goal target.
Delivering on Breakthroughs to World Challenges
Goal: By 2015, achieve at least three breakthroughs that will significantly
improve the world’s ability to solve the challenges of affordable and adequate
food supply; decent housing; energy and climate change; sustainable water
supplies; or improved personal health and safety
We exceeded our Breakthroughs to World Challenges Goal in 2014,
achieving three new breakthroughs. The Omega-9 Healthy Oils
breakthrough was announced in 2012.
Goals: 1) Maintain greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions below 2006
levels, 2) Reduce energy intensity
25 percent, 3) Use 400 MW of
clean energy by 2025
Dow is working toward a sustainable
energy future by constantly seeking
to improve our manufacturing
eciency, helping to innovate
products that support these
eorts, while reducing emissions
and expanding availability of
alternative energy sources. Within
our operations, we have prevented
more than 324 million metric tons
of GHG emissions from entering the
atmosphere since 1990. The energy
savings and avoided GHG emissions
are equivalent to the average
footprint of more than 51 million
single-family homes.
