Dow describes itself as combining “the power of science and technology to passionately innovate what is essential to human progress.” In 2015, Dow articulated its “2025 sustainability goals to help redefine the role of business in society.” The very first goal is to lead “in developing a societal blueprint that integrates public policy solutions, science and technology, and value innovation to facilitate the transition to a sustainable planet and society.” - Closing remarks with Dan Braun and Dr. Bopaya Bidanda
