DuPont Sustainability Strategy

Our sustainability framework has three interconnected strategic focus areas: Innovations to Thrive, Sustainable Operations, and People and Well-being. 

Strong performance across all three dimensions will enable us to boldly embrace our renewed purpose and maximize the impact DuPont science can bring to the world.

 
 
 
Key Sustainability Issues

We worked with customers, suppliers, NGOs and business partners to identify the sustainability issues that offer the greatest opportunity to deliver business value, increase resiliency across our value chains, and enable people and societies to thrive.

These key issues will be addressed through the three dimensions of our sustainability strategy: innovation, operational excellence, community impact and new collaborations with our business partners.
