Do it Art!

Our 20th anniversary is special because it marks the beginning of a new era for Dow.

“Do it Art” is a slogan that symbolizes Dow’s corporate culture and is imbued with the meaning “Work like an artist and create works of art”.
The artist is a symbol of “creativity”, the core spirit of Dow’s people, and also evokes the image of “market developer”, Dow’s core competency.

By encouraging our people to apply the perspective and attitude of an artist in their everyday work, it shows the will to produce creative and original results that far exceed simple work.

This phrase, which can be interpreted as meaning "Let's work like an artist" or "Let's make art”,

is a very inspirational slogan that emphasizes creativity, passion, and artistic sensibility.
