Mary is passionate about using science, innovation, and collaboration to drive transformative and sustainable change. She leads corporate EH&S governance and Dow’s ambitious 2025 Sustainability Goals. Priority areas include solutions for a circular economy, climate change, sustainable chemistry and incorporating nature into business decisions. Mary previously led Dow’s groundbreaking Valuing Nature Goal, which represents the first-ever commitment by a corporation to formally factor nature into its business decisions. Under her leadership, Dow has enjoyed a highly productive collaboration with The Nature Conservancy (TNC). Together with TNC, she and her team have helped pioneer tools and create a cultural shift that are enabling Dow sites to make a compelling business case for adopting nature-based project solutions. Dow’s aim is to identify $1 billion worth of value to Dow from projects that enhance nature by 2025. Since launching the goal in 2015, the Company has realized about $275 million of value in nature-based decisions. Mary joined Dow in 1989 and has held several manufacturing and EH&S leadership roles.
