Since its establishment, DowAksa has been

approach that carefully considers the balance of

Development Goals, global trends and increasing
customer needs, and to make sustainability part
of the company culture. It also aims to integrate

environmental, social and governance (ESG) fields.
With its targeted approach, DowAksa has started
to create a sustainability roadmap to encourage

Story of a Sustainable Success
As DowAksa – a company that aims to integrate the best practices in the fields of environmental, social and governance into its corporate decision-making process and culture – we are pleased to present our first Sustainability Report.
Dear Stakeholders,
I am delighted to present to our stakeholders and to the wider public our first Sustainability Report covering the year 2021 and the ensuing Global Reporting Initiative. Since its foundation DowAksa has been conducting its business in a sustainable way, aiming to find a balance between social, economic development and environmental impact. Now the time has come for DowAksa’s development to be aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, global trends and increasing customer sustainability requirements. We want to integrate best Environmental, Social and Governance practices into our corporate decision-making and culture.
During 2022 we aim to develop a robust and long-term Sustainability Strategy and Vision leveraging our ability to create advance composite materials for the better World.
We believe that we already make an impact reducing the global carbon footprint by delivering effective solutions to the Wind industry but there is much space for us to improve in terms of waste management and recycling as well as emission reduction.
Through the whole lifecycle of our products we will contribute to CO2 emission reduction and help the world become carbon neutral by 2050.
In this respect, we publish our first Sustainability report 2021, following the Global Reporting Initiative, which portrays our history and where we stand in the continuation of our Sustainability journey.
Yours truly,
Douglas PARKS
