Doing so ensures Dow's ability to prioritize the highest return-generating opportunities, while maintaining a competitive dividend," said Jim Fitterling, Dow chair and CEO. "Our capital allocation approach remains unchanged, and we are committed to delivering leading shareholder returns over the cycle. As the industry recovers, Dow is positioned to deliver profitable growth by unlocking the full benefit of our growth investments, improving margins, implementing our cost reduction initiatives, and further strengthening our competitive advantages."
