GHG emissions and Carbon intensity
Dow Inc reported Total CO2e Emissions - Market-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 31 December 2021 at 33,970 Kt (-590 /-1.7% y-o-y). Also positively, carbon intensity tumbled to 618 t (-279 /-31.1% y-o-y).

The company is committed to reducing Scope 1 + 2 by 15% by 2030 from a base year 2020, which translates into the estimated reduction of -510 Kt per annum over the period of FY2022 - FY2030. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
Also, the company commits to achieving carbon neutrality for all Scopes by 2050, which translates into the estimated reduction of -3,849 Kt per annum over the period of FY2022 - FY2050. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
Dow Inc aims to achive carbon neutrality across its entire value chain (all Scopes) in 2050. Companies normally become carbon neutral with the help of the acquisition of carbon offsets rather than absolute reductions in their own greenhouse emissions. Also, carbon neutrality does not include non-CO2 GHG emissions.
