MIDLAND, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In recognition of its inclusive workplace, The Dow Chemical Company, a

corporate policies and practices related to LGBT equality and inclusion.

Year after year, Dow continues to be recognized as a leader in
advocating an inclusive workplace environment where all employees feel
welcome and respected,” said Karen S. Carter, Dow’s chief inclusion
