Dow announced that for the fourth year, it has been named to the JUST 100 list, placing 55th overall; an 11-point improvement from last year and securing the top spot for Communities in the Chemicals sector.
About the list
Since 2015, JUST Capital has surveyed more than 160,000 Americans on what issues they believe U.S. companies should prioritize when it comes to just business behavior. JUST evaluated 951 companies across five stakeholders, 20 issues, and 245 raw data points to produce the 2023 rankings which showcase the top 100 companies doing right by all their stakeholders.
This marks the first year Dow has earned the top spot in its industry in the "communities" category, highlighting the company's commitment to creating jobs in the U.S., respecting human rights across its supply chain, contributing to community development, and giving back to local communities.
