2030 Commitment
Reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from DuPont Performance Building Solutions and Corian® Design operations by 75% from a 2019 baseline.
With buildings responsible for nearly 40% of global GHG emission, it is up to us to bend the curve. To prevent global temperatures from rising beyond 1.5°C, we must reduce global emissions by half by 2030. If we take action now we can realize our shared vision of a home with a safe, sustainable environment – now and for generations to come.
