Dow India is committed to advancing social and economic progress in its communities, with a focus on women's empowerment and gender equality. Through partnerships with organizations like the Mann Deshi Foundation, Humana People to People India, and Avtar Human Capital Trust, Dow India supports women's entrepreneurship, skill development, and education.

In 2023-24, these initiatives positively impacted over 177,000 individuals, including 5,000 women.
By 2025, Dow aims to be a global leader in inclusion, diversity, and equity for all. Inclusion and diversity are integral to Dow's business strategy, encouraging employees to bring their whole selves to work, thereby enhancing value and career fulfillment.
A notable initiative is "Anubhuti," meaning experience, launched by the Disability Employee Network (DEN) Employee Resource Group (ERG). This apprenticeship program, developed in partnership with organizations like Tata Consultancy and ABBF, is designed for individuals with disabilities.
Selected candidates serve as apprentices with Dow India for up to 12 months, focusing on applying their skills in a corporate environment. This initiative not only boosts their confidence but also familiarizes them with global work processes, though it does not guarantee employment.
To date, four visually impaired candidates have successfully completed the program and are now employed, exemplifying Dow's commitment to creating opportunities for people with disabilities.
