As part of our efforts to combat the pandemic, we donated 243,000 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) in 2020, including:

  • 148,800+ Tyvek® coveralls
  • 320,000+ yards of Tyvek® fabric
  • 45,000+ liters of hand sanitizer
  • 8,400+ N-95 masks
  • 900+ surgical masks

Across DuPont, business and functional teams banded together to answer the call to support local communities as they managed COVID-19 impacts. That included rallying to do new things, like producing, packaging and donating about 45,000 liters of hand sanitizer in DuPont communities across Canada, Germany, and the US, and leveraging existing partnerships, as we did in Latin America to donate 500 computers to help low-income students attend school remotely.

As a leading producer of PPE, DuPont also donated our own product to local hospitals in our global communities during the height of the PPE shortage in 2020. In addition to over 148,000 Tyvek® protective coveralls, our Water & Protection business donated to frontline and essential workers around the world, our Electronics & Industrial and Mobility & Materials businesses used DuPont’s 3D printers.
