Dow Receives National Institute of Building Sciences Award
Over 4.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) were mitigated through carbon reduction projects implemented by Dow in its role as the Official Carbon Partner of the Organizing Committees of Olympic Games Sochi 2014, Rio 2016, and the IOC. Of the total volume of carbon mitigated, 3 million metric tons is attributed to built environment projects. This, and the fact that the Company is now applying this proven framework on a global scale in its role as the Official Carbon Partner of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), earned Dow a first-place ‘medal’ of its own in the Innovations for High-Performance Buildings and Communities category of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) 2018 Beyond Green High Performance Building and Community Awards.
