Dow was recently honored with a Leading Disability Employer Seal by the National Organization on Disability (NOD), marking the seventh consecutive year Dow has received the recognition, said the company.
NOD spotlights the transformative contributions made by business leaders in promoting employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. It also honors those organizations that prioritize diversity, equity and importantly, accessibility – setting a high standard for others to follow.
Leading Disability Employer Seal recipients are determined based on data provided by companies on the NOD Employment Tracker™. The Tracker helps companies understand which employment practices correlate to improved talent outcomes related to hiring, retention and advancement of people with disabilities.
Scoring prioritized practices that are associated with increased disability employment outcomes over time, and companies received additional points based on the percentage of people with disabilities in their workforce. Dow scored highly when considering disability employment strategy, practices and performance.
We remind, Dow, Inc. (Midland, Mich.) and LanzaTech Global, Inc. (Chicago, Ill.) have partnered to commercialize a biobased surfactant for the homecare market. The surfactant will leverage LanzaTech’s biorecycling technology, which employs proprietary bacteria to consume carbon-rich pollution from industrial facilities, such as steelmaking plants, and convert it into chemicals, including ethanol. This ethanol can be converted into ethylene oxide, and subsequently used to produce surfactants.
