Dow’s Growth StrategyGrowth strategy makes Dow more vulnerable to supply chain violations
Additionally, there IS increased scrutiny on human rights all the way through the supply chain
• Operating in countries with less transparency and poor human rights records
• Harder for Dow to enforce or extend its business standards and codes of conduct
• Greater exposure to consumer scrutiny
