Dow Chemical Canada ULC reported two communications with Environment and Climate Change Canada officials on carbon pricing, according to the federal lobbying registry.
What the filing shows
Dow Chemical Canada ULC, the client registered in connection with Dow Inc. (NYSE: DOW), reported two lobbying communications with federal officials, according to the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada registry.
The first communication was recorded on September 16, 2026, and the last was recorded on September 21, 2026. The subject matter listed in the filing was "Environment Concern with Climate Change and any impact on industry associated with a price on Carbon or other emission intensity criteria."
Under the federal Lobbying Act, organizations that lobby federal officials must register with the Commissioner of Lobbying, and registered lobbyists are required to file monthly communication reports covering oral, arranged meetings with designated public office holders. The registry shows this as the only lobbying filing reported for Dow Chemical Canada ULC in the past 12 months.
Who was lobbied
The two reported communications involved three officials at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), according to the registry.
David Sawyers, listed as Senior Policy Advisor at ECCC, was recorded as having two communications with the registrant. Maeve Collins Tobin, listed as Policy Advisor at ECCC, was recorded with one communication, and Caroline Lee, listed as Chief of Staff at ECCC, was also recorded with one communication.
Designated public office holders such as those listed in the filing are the officials whose contacts with registered lobbyists must be disclosed under the Lobbying Act. The registry entry for Dow Chemical Canada ULC lists ECCC as the sole institution contacted during the reporting period covered by this filing.
Dow Inc. on the public record
Separate from the lobbying communications, federal proactive disclosure records show that Dow Inc. received one federal contract or grant over the last 24 months, with a total value of $400.0 million. The most recent award recorded in those disclosure records was dated October 23, 2024.
The Government of Canada publishes contracts worth more than $10,000, and grants and contributions worth more than $25,000, through its proactive disclosure system, which allows the public to review the value and timing of federal awards to companies and organizations.
Taken together, the lobbying registry entry and the proactive disclosure record provide separate but related public records: one tracking registered communications with federal officials on policy subjects such as carbon pricing, and the other tracking federal contracts and grants awarded to the company.
