WILMINGTON, Del., May 4, 2026 – DuPont (NYSE: DD) today published its 2026 Sustainability Report, detailing significant progress in 2025 towards its climate and sustainability ambitions and introducing nine goals with deliverables through 2035.

“The progress outlined in our 2026 Sustainability Report reflects the dedication of our teams and underscores how sustainability is embedded in DuPont’s strategy that drives growth, consistent execution and long‑term value creation,” said Scott Collick, Chief Sustainability Officer at DuPont. “The report highlights the advancements we have made in the past year to strengthen our portfolio, drive operational efficiency, and deliver sustainable innovation alongside our customers. We’re encouraged by the momentum we’re building, and the role sustainability plays in supporting durable, profitable growth.”

Throughout 2025, DuPont collaborated with customers to introduce sustainably advantaged products, made substantial progress on improving energy efficiency at our sites, reduced our climate impacts, and extended our sustainability expectations into our supply chain. Key Highlights from the 2026 Sustainability Report include:

  • Over 35% of revenue generated from products introduced in the past five years, and nearly 80% of DuPont’s active innovation portfolio is expected to deliver sustainable advantages for customers.
  • Achieved a 76% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from a 2019 baseline and a 66% reduction in Scope 3 emissions from a 2020 baseline. On track to net-zero emissions by 2050.
  • Approximately 50% of electricity used across DuPont operations is renewably sourced, including 100% of manufacturing operations in Europe.
  • 78% of sites worldwide have implemented 4R programs, designed to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency.
  • Achieved its safest year on record, surpassing safety performance milestones set in prior years, with 88% of sites with zero recordable injuries or illnesses.

DuPont also expanded its sustainability commitment with the introduction of its 2035 Goals focused on sustainable innovation, resilient operations, and people, partners and communities—all grounded in strong governance. The goals set clear priorities across DuPont’s organization, operations and value chain, and are designed to strengthen competitiveness, align with customer and market expectations, and support long‑term value creation.

The 2026 Sustainability Report was developed with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards, and the recommendations outlined by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
