Jon Penrice, APAC President of Dow Chemical Co

It is encouraging to hear his report. As a multinational company investing and operating in China for years, Dow has witnessed China's rapid growth in the past decade. China is Dow's largest international market, and with 125 years of global experience, we have the expertise to provide new solutions to businesses in the country. Our focus on innovation and sustainability closely aligns with China's growth path.

As China moves toward the goals of reaching peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality, we will contribute through our own targets to move towards net carbon neutrality by 2050 and our clear action plan to implement and advance technologies to manufacture our products using less resources. Our experience in helping develop sustainable solutions could also support improvements in the manufacturing sector, contributing to China's green development.
