Creating sustainable solutions to society’s most pressing challenges
From better, safer probiotics that support the body’s immune system, to innovations for electric and autonomous vehicles, and new technologies that enable life-giving medical care and access to clean water, our businesses work with customers and industry leaders to help build a safer, healthier and more sustainable world for all.
We’re looking beyond our own footprint to develop solutions that meet the UN guidelines for sustainable development.
We use the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as a guiding set of principles to understand what the world needs action on, now. Within the 17 SDGs, we have identified seven with the strongest alignment to our science and markets and where we are confident we have the ability to impact change at scale. Even as our business and product portfolio evolves, these global goals will continue to be used as a source of worldwide consensus on sustainability priorities for our scientists and engineers to work toward innovative solutions.

In the end, being sustainable means considering the lifecycle of every product from the beginning.
Every day, DuPont and our affiliates deliver millions of products to customers, distributors, and other business associates around the globe. Our Product Stewardship team manages a product throughout its life cycle focusing on health, safety, and environmental issues at each phase.
Sustainability is deeply integrated into our operations, helping us find new ways to do more with less.
We embed responsible and sustainable practices into all the ways we work: supporting and enhancing the safety, security, health, product stewardship, and environmental responsibility of our operations. Our own global footprint is becoming more energy efficient and less wasteful every day as we put digital technology to work in all our systems and supply chain, and we also ensure that our suppliers, whom we view as partners in our success, share our commitment to sustainability.
Driving positive change globally begins by making a difference locally.
An essential part of our mission is to connect with people and drive progress through community outreach, education partnerships, and a strong culture of volunteerism. This approach enables us to meet local needs while empowering employees in the communities where they work and live.
