Description

How will Dow, a petrochemical giant with over $57 billion in sales, reach net-zero by 2050? This is just one of the future goals taken up by Jim Fitterling, Chair and CEO of Dow, Inc. In this CEO Perspectives episode, Fitterling sits down with Dr. Lori Esposito Murray, President of the Committee for Economic Development (CED), the public policy center of The Conference Board, to discuss his core principles for leadership and Dow's transformative journey toward sustainability and innovation, including a net-zero future. Tune in to find out: What are the core principles Fitterling uses for transformation and leading through disruption? Why does the burden of finding balance fall to leadership? How is Dow succeeding with an energy transition away from fossil fuels? What are the “guardrails” for using generative AI at Dow? How is Dow investing in automation and computer modeling? Why is creating the right culture and environment for diverse perspectives critical to innovation? This episode of CEO Perspectives is part of the Leadership in Challenging Times series from CED. The series features discussions with the outstanding business leaders who are recipients of CED’s Distinguished Leadership Awards. In this series, business leaders discuss the unprecedented challenges facing the nation and how they are helping chart a path forward for both their companies and communities in which they operate.
