Our 2015 Sustainability Goals
The DuPont 2015 Sustainability Goals span all of our operations, from R&D to manufacturing to marketing. They go beyond wanting to reduce our footprint, we're developing safer and environmentally conscious products for all of the markets we serve around the globe. Those industries being transportation, construction, agriculture, and communications, just to name a few.
Besides our focus on the production of new and safer products our goal is to also make a difference in our local community. With programs like Clear into the Future, which was created to enhance awareness, involvement and understanding of the Delaware Estuary. The focus of the program is to teach children through activities, games and hands-on experiences the impact that they have on the environment, good or bad.
