The Dow Chemical Company, a market leader of specialty chemicals, advanced materials, agrosciences and plastics, has signed a collaboration agreement with the 2030 Water Resources Group (WRG) to support its activities in the area of sustainable water resources management at the global and national levels, the company said in a press release.

“Business has an indispensable role to play in driving human progress, but it cannot work alone. Only by leveraging our breadth and depth of scientific solutions at their intersection with government and civil society can we solve global challenges like the sustainable use of water,” said Andrew Liveris, Dow chairman and CEO. 

As part of Dow’s 2025 sustainability goals, the company is committed to account for the business value of using fresh water in its operations, as well as reducing the intensity of fresh water intake at its key sites by 20 per cent. The company’s work aligns with 2030 WRG's goals especially in the development of water treatment technology, wastewater recycling and agricultural water efficiency.

Dow’s water and process solutions business unit has the industry’s broadest portfolio of liquid purification and separation technologies enabling the customers in a variety of industries to more effectively and efficiently produce clean water of about 15 million gallons every minute. (NA)
