MIDLAND, Mich., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Place To Work® (GPTW) and Fortune magazine have honored Dow (NYSE: DOW) as one of the Fortune World's Best Workplaces™ in 2024 . This is the second consecutive year that Dow has earned this distinction.
"This recognition is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our employees globally," said Jim Fitterling, Dow chair and CEO. "Their unwavering commitment to creating an outstanding workplace environment is what has earned us this prestigious honor. This award celebrates our collective achievement and highlights the strong culture of trust and transparency that we continually foster within Dow."
The Fortune World's Best Workplaces list is highly competitive.

In the 2024 cycle, Dow was certified as a Great Place to Work® in 15 countries and ranked on eight national Best Workplaces™ lists.
Organizations are assessed on their efforts to create great workplaces and positively impact people and communities across multiple countries around the world. Companies must demonstrate how they generously and thoughtfully support employees with personalized support that meets their unique needs.
Alveda Williams, Ph.D., Dow's chief inclusion officer, emphasized the significance of being named on the Fortune World's Best Workplaces™ list. "Being eligible for this recognition is a remarkable achievement for Team Dow," she noted.
