Advancing Innovation and Growth with Our 2035 Sustainability Goals

At DuPont, sustainability is fundamental to how we innovate, compete, and create lasting value. As we move forward, we are aligning our portfolio and operating models to drive greater innovation, operational strength, and commercial excellence. This pivotal moment of transformation creates an opportunity to look beyond incremental progress and reimagine what’s possible. Our 2035 Goals define not just where we are going, but how we will lead—expanding what sustainability can achieve for our business, our customers, and the future.

 
 
 

"DuPont’s new 2035 Sustainability Goals position the company and our customers for long-term success. By pairing scientific and technical expertise with operational excellence, we are embedding sustainability into how we innovate and operate, strengthening competitiveness and creating lasting value across the markets we serve.”

Our 2035 Sustainability Goals outline how we will deliver growth through its progress in key impact areas of Sustainable Innovation, Resilient Operations, and People, Partners, and Communities — all rooted in Strong Governance. 

 
 
 

Sustainable Innovation

Across DuPont, teams integrate sustainability considerations into decisions shaping our innovation pipeline, portfolio strategy, and investment priorities. We focus on where our products deliver clear sustainability advantages—from climate and water to circular and safe and sustainable by design—and how those advantages translate into growth, margin strength, and deeper customer relationships.

Sustainable solutions

Our advanced solutions transform industries by redefining what’s possible.

Goal: A significant majority of our products and solutions will deliver direct sustainability advantages to customers; new products will provide health, water, or climate benefits.

Safe and sustainable by design (SSbD)

We integrate SSbD principles into every product we produce.

Goal: We commit to systematically minimize, eliminate, or avoid substances of concern (SoC) in products where safer alternatives exist, supported by year-over-year reductions in SVHC in our product portfolio and transparent reporting of phase-out progress to stakeholders.

 
 
 

Resilient Operations

Resilient operations reflect DuPont’s commitment to strengthening the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of our global operations while reducing environmental impact. Guided by our 2035 Sustainability Goals, we are taking action on climate, advancing circularity, and strengthening waste and water stewardship to operate more efficiently today and bolster our long-term resilience. By embedding these priorities across our sites and supply chain, we aim to protect critical resources, reduce risk, and support long-term value creation.

Our growth is built on innovating more by using less.

Goal: We will integrate circular economy principles into our business models and continuously improve the proportion of circular content in products and packaging year over year. Every facility will implement a 4R program to achieve a 10% reduction in total waste intensity.

People, Partners, and Communities

DuPont commits to fostering safe, inclusive environments that support well-being and help our people, partners, and communities thrive. We focus on responsible procurement, respect for human rights, and meaningful engagement across our value chain to build trust, manage risk, and strengthen resilience where we operate. By investing in our workforce, partnering responsibly with suppliers, and supporting communities, we aim to create shared value that endures over the long term.
