Welcome to The Global Collaboratory™
DUPONT 2013 SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS REPORT

Rice paddy in Longsheng, China
Science meets Innovation.
.
Welcome to The Global Collaboratory™
With expertise spanning two centuries, diverse industries and more than 90 countries,
our company is uniquely positioned to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges.
For more than 200 years, DuPont has brought world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace through innovative
products, materials and services. Our market-driven innovation introduces thousands of new products and patent applications
every year, serving markets as diverse as agriculture, nutrition, electronics and communications, safety and protection, home and
construction, transportation and apparel.
Today, DuPont is proud to build on this heritage by partnering with others to tackle the unprecedented challenges in food,
energy and protection now facing our world. With global population expected to exceed nine billion by 2050, DuPont is
working with customers, governments, NGOs and thought leaders to discover solutions to today’s toughest challenges.
Together, we believe we can provide enough healthy food for people everywhere, decrease dependence on fossil fuels, and protect
people and the environment for generations to come. We look forward to what a third century of science and innovation can do.

Together we can build a
secure energy future.
While the demand for energy grows,
the supply of fossil fuels will not.
With a growing population, we will
need to use those existing resources
as efficiently and effectively as
possible, and find better ways to
harness renewable energy sources,
as well. These transitions will
stimulate new industries and power
clean economies.

Together we can
feed the world.

Together we can protect
what matters most.

Ensuring that enough healthy,
nutritious food is available for
people everywhere is one of the
most critical challenges facing
humanity. Our focus on providing for
the needs of a growing population
will help developing countries
prosper, and foster economic
growth around the world.

A growing global population places
increased pressure on people and
the environment. As the world
develops, humanity places greater
value on both life and the earth we
all share. We believe that our social
and environmental ecosystems
are precious, and we’re working to
protect them.

2
We are driving a new era of sustainable
growth as we continue to transform
DuPont. We’re building a higher value,
sustainable growth company focused
on providing solutions to large global
issues. The people of DuPont continue
to advance our sustainability journey as
we explore, discover, innovate and deliver
solutions to global challenges.
We have three strategic priorities:
agriculture and nutrition, bio-based
industrials, and advanced materials. In
each area, DuPont has leading science
that is valued by our customers and
which enables us to continue to build
a distinctive set of higher margin,
sustainable growth businesses. More than
ever, sustainability is a core component of
each of our business strategies.
In 2012 we made tremendous progress
against our 2015 sustainability goals,
achieving most of these goals three
years ahead of schedule. Given that
accomplishment, we have begun defining
our next set of sustainability goals. In this
report, we’ve included two areas that are
outlined for 2020. One is Energy, which
we announced in 2011. The other is a

new category in its first year of reporting
– Food Security. In the near future we
will announce a complete set of 2020
sustainability goals that will reflect the
overall strategic direction of DuPont.
As always, the DuPont Core Values
of Safety and Health, Environmental
Stewardship, Highest Ethical Behavior
and Respect for People serve as

“In 2012 we made
tremendous progress
against our 2015
sustainability goals…”
the backbone of how we operate as
individuals and as a company. They will
continue to guide us in our effort to find
sustainable, innovative, market-driven
solutions that will make lives better, safer
and healthier for people everywhere.
With our resources, talent, and science
concentrated on clear strategic and
operational priorities, we will accelerate
progress toward our long term growth
targets while delivering near term value
to our shareholders. We will continue

to challenge ourselves with sustainability
goals that create value for all of our
stakeholders, and through our product
innovation, business strategy, and
operations we will meet them.

At DuPont, our sustainability journey
has evolved over the last few decades.
We began by responding proactively to
calls for environmental compliance, and
by reducing our operational footprint.
Since the early 2000s, we’ve expanded
our sustainability efforts into marketdriven goals that have helped us produce
more sustainable solutions for customers.
This year, we’re beginning to report
progress in a new category, Food Security.
Throughout this journey we’ve made
significant progress in sustainability – and
this year is no exception.
Since 2004, we’ve reduced our greenhouse
gas emissions by 25 percent, surpassing
the goal by 10 percent, and we’ve lowered
our global water usage by 12 percent. Our

Market-Facing Goals have seen progress
since 2011, producing an additional
$2 billion in revenue from products that
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
$11.8 billion in revenue from products
based on non-depletable resources.

“We’ve made such
substantial progress
toward our 2015
commitments that the
time has come for us to
look more broadly toward
the future.”
In the new category of Food Security,
DuPont has set goals to help ensure
sustainable food production in order
to ultimately end world hunger and
guarantee food safety. We’re investing
more than $3 million each day on
research and development to this end,
and we’ve already begun to see progress
in our goals to strengthen agricultural
systems and make food more available
and nutritious.
We’ve made such substantial progress
toward our 2015 commitments that the
time has come for us to look more broadly
toward the future. We’re focused now on

4

determining our 2020 sustainability goals,
as well as defining the ways in which we
can make new leaps and bounds toward
our vision of solving the world’s greatest
challenges. Our perspective is that new
technologies - such as biotechnology
and nanotechnology – offer compelling
benefits, and should be part of the suite
of solutions that help bring safe and
nutritious food to the world, decrease our
dependence on fossil fuels, and safeguard
people and the planet. Therefore societal
acceptance of these technologies will be
critical. We’re committed to working
closely with stakeholders to understand
concerns, to make sure our solutions are
safe, and to be transparent about our
work in these areas. We know that our
ability for future growth is contingent
upon our continued effort to be a
socially and environmentally responsible
corporate citizen.
We look forward to sharing with you a
complete set of our 2020 sustainability
goals in the near future, and to furthering
our sustainability journey.

Science meets Feeding the World.
The consequences of hunger and malnutrition are so devastating, so multi-faceted, that no one country, let
alone one company, has all the answers. That is why we are committed to working with others — through
collaborations with NGOs, governments, academia and others in the industry — and by working locally with
farmers from Kenya to Mexico to the Ukraine to address their unique challenges. DuPont is setting sizeable
goals that are achievable by 2020 to help end world hunger and ensure food security.

Hunger meets Innovation
DuPont Pioneer introduced Optimum®
AQUAmax® hybrids that demonstrated a
more than eight percent yield advantage
in water limited environments and almost
a two percent yield advantage in favorable
growing conditions.
DuPont Crop Protection launched
Cyazypyr™ insect control, a unique active
ingredient to control a broad spectrum
of damaging insect pests in many crops
around the world. Cyazypyr™ combines
effective pest control with a favorable
environmental profile, to help growers
establish and protect crops to produce
a healthier and stronger crop resulting
in improved quality and increased yield
opportunities at harvest. For example,
tomato farmers in Argentina are thrilled
with the long-lasting effectiveness at low
use rates, which offers great results while
minimizing impact on the environment.
Farmers have also commented that they

are impressed with the short pre-harvest
intervals and virus protection that
Cyazypyr™ offers.

Food Security Challenge
meets Inspired Youth

DuPont is partnering with 4-H to engage
youth in five African countries to build the
skill and will to contribute to addressing
the food security challenge. Programs
include a Leadership Institute for adult
4-H leaders and enterprise gardens for
building hands on farming and business
training for youth. More than 14,000
young people were impacted in 2012.

Smallholder Farmers
meet Prosperity

Working closely with small farmers in
Colombia, DuPont Nutrition & Health
is providing Marschall® brand rennet
(enzymes) for cheese production – keeping
food fresher longer, reducing waste and
increasing the standard of living for farmers.

DuPont Crop Protection developed
special projects aimed at farm safety and
education across Brazil through Safety and
Health in the Field. More than 115,000
farmers, families and rural professionals
were trained in 2012.

Food meets Biotechnology

DuPont integrates many different
sciences to help meet the challenges of
growing global populations. Within the
agriculture, nutrition, health and biobased market segments, we invest $3
million a day in research and development.
Biotechnology is one of the many tools,
along with traditional methods like plant
breeding, we employ to help meet the
world’s food, feed and fuel demands while
reducing our footprint on the planet.
We are proud of our science and the
contributions it has made to making food
healthier and more nutritious, fresher
longer, safer and more sustainable.

We know consumers today have more
questions than ever about their food,
including the presence of GMOs. We
— and the many regulators who review
our products — have confidence in
their safety. We also believe consumers
should have access to helpful and not
misleading information that allows
them to make the best choices for
themselves and their families. We
support a variety of efforts, such as the
U.S. Farmer and Rancher Alliance Food
Dialogues, to help consumers connect
with farmers and ranchers and learn
more about how food is produced.

Finding Big Energy Savings in Texas
In LaPorte, Texas, the DuPont Chemicals
& Fluoroproducts (DC&F) business
demonstrated how serious energy
savings can be captured simply by
working smarter. LaPorte is one of our
largest facilities in North America, and
its products service several DuPont
businesses worldwide. The complexity
of the site’s operations and its size can
present challenges in streamlining energy
efficiency initiatives, but as the DC&F
team found, sometimes it just takes an
assessment of existing operations to find
efficiencies.
When the DC&F team noticed that
refrigeration operating costs seemed higher
than necessary, they decided to observe
and analyze how the machines were
operated and maintained. Upon review
of the data they discovered it would be
possible to optimize equipment that was
needed, turn off equipment that was not
needed, and use a more practical cleaning
schedule. The team used historical data
to determine the ideal condition of the
machines, and then coordinated with
operations to run the machines using the
improved strategy. Training was conducted
among operators, and key performance
indicator progress was communicated
broadly and routinely.

The results speak for themselves. Once
the program was fully operational, energy
savings were found to be 32 percent in the
first year alone, far surpassing the initial
goal of a 4 percent reduction. The team
was able to help the site reduce energy
consumption by 2,900 megawatt hours,
or 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions
equivalents. To put that in perspective,
it would take over 94,000 tree seedlings
more than 10 years to sequester that same
amount of carbon.
The team was awarded a 2013 Responsible
Care® Energy Efficiency Award from the
American Chemistry Council for this
initiative.

In addition to activewear fabric, Sorona®
fiber is used in residential and commercial
carpets, apparel and automotive mats and
carpets. Sorona® provides sustainability benefits
throughout the value chain – from polymer
production, to extrusion at lower temperatures,
to lower dyeing temperatures. With Sorona®
fiber, designers, carpet mills, apparel brands,
and consumers can make more environmentally
friendly choices without sacrificing performance.

As a renewably sourced material, Sorona®
provides enhanced sustainability benefits
throughout the value chain, from the reduction
of oil consumption to energy and production
savings to easy care for consumers. DuPont™
Sorona® contains 37 percent annually renewable
plant-based ingredients by weight. DuPont
conducted a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment
of Sorona® and found numerous environmental
benefits of Sorona® polymer production
compared to nylon. Sorona® polymer production
uses 30 percent less non-renewable energy and
reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 63 percent
compared to the production of an equal amount
of nylon 6. The life cycle assessment also shows
no catalysts containing any heavy metals are
used in the polymerization of Sorona®, and no
additional chemical treatments for stain resistance
are required, a benefit for manufacturers.

GOAL: Double investment to $640 million in R&D programs with direct, quantifiable environmental
benefits for our customers and consumers.

MILLION DOLLARS

Activewear manufacturers and consumers alike
appreciate the comfort stretch of DuPont™
Sorona® because it provides freedom of
movement, making outdoor activities more
enjoyable. Ideal for use in performance fabrics for
active outdoor apparel, Sorona® provides comfort
stretch and good color fastness to maintain
bright, bold colors. And for the consumer,
performance fabrics made with Sorona® resist
fading from harsh UV light and can withstand
repeated washings, extending the garment’s life.

Keeping Baked Goods Fresh

2010

More food reaches landfills and incinerators
than any other single material in municipal
solid waste, and yet much of that food was
perfectly edible. Bakery products are one of the
worst culprits for avoidable food waste, with
approximately 30 percent of bakery goods like
bread, cakes and cookies thrown away before ever
making it onto our plates. Often these items are
discarded simply because of the perception that
they have gone stale and dry.

Using an integrated science approach, DuPont
Industrial Biosciences and DuPont Nutrition
 Health are helping to reduce this problem
which is costly for both industry and consumers.
Enzymes, such as our PowerFresh™ enzyme
range, play a key role in delaying the staling
process and thereby reducing bread waste in
retail and households. When enzymes are applied
in the baking process, less bread needs to be
stored, transported, sold, packed, processed and
produced per consumed amount – resulting in
significant reductions in environmental impact.
In fact, just one kilogram of the PowerFresh™
enzyme results in several hundreds of kilograms
of carbon dioxide equivalents avoided in the
bakery value chain.
Our enzymes are designed to meet all bakery
needs when processing white, whole meal and
specialty bread products, such as brioche and
panettone. The entire enzyme range demonstrates
the ability to maintain a soft, moist crumb
texture for considerably longer than traditional
anti-staling solutions. Studies show that it is this
softness that consumers perceive as freshness
when choosing which bread to buy. As a
consequence, bread waste is reduced due to fewer
product returns and the fact that consumers
are less likely to throw part of the bread away.
Reducing today’s bread waste is an important
way we can help our customers minimize their
impact on the environment.

PROGRESS: Increased revenue to $11.8 billion in 2012.

This project generated numerous benefits for
the Fayetteville site. Specifically, the project
reaped water savings (12 million gallons of water
recycled annually), energy savings and carbon
footprint reduction from decreased natural gas
usage (1.6 million pounds of carbon dioxide)
and financial savings from a decrease in chemical
treatment costs.

The site’s commitment to responsible use
of resources is demonstrated by its initiative
to capture and reuse the steam used in its
manufacturing operations. Collecting and
reusing steam condensate results in energy
savings from recycling water that has already
been heated and treated. When water is reused in
operations, it must be completely free from iron
and other deposits, otherwise contaminated water
can cause issues when routed to the boiler. The
team found that by adding a water softener to
the condensate returned from the manufacturing
process, the clean, iron free condensate could be
readily reused in the process.

DuPont is a proud participant in sustainability
initiatives that increase and improve the energy
efficiency of buildings. That’s why we were
excited when the office building at our Chestnut
Run Plaza facility achieved LEED (Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold
certification.
Sustainability is a key element of the building’s
design, demonstrated by the green roof and a
state-of-the-art solar array that offsets energy
needs. At least 50 percent of the wood-based
materials used in construction of the building are
certified from sustainable forests. The building also
features advanced technology into its function and
aesthetics, such as waterless urinals, energy efficient
LED lighting and HVAC systems.
More than 20 DuPont products are incorporated
into the building’s structure, electronic systems
and décor including:
•	Corian® solid surface material used as siding
on the building’s exterior, countertops
in dining areas and multiple decorative
applications
•	Zodiaq® quartz surfaces for interior surfaces,
kitchen countertops and vanity tops
•	Tyvek® CommercialWrap® used to help
prevent air and water infiltration
•	Solar panels from DuPont Apollo, Ltd.
•	Glass fortified with SentryGlas® ionoplast
interlayer
•	Elvaloy® used in the “white roof ” to reflect the
sun and reduce the load on cooling systems in
the summer months
•	Carpet tiles made with rapidly renewable
Sorona® fiber.
This building demonstrates how DuPont is
using integrated science to make buildings more
sustainable.

  • 1. Science meets Sustainability. . Welcome to The Global Collaboratory™ DUPONT 2013 SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS REPORT Rice paddy in Longsheng, China
  • 2. Science meets Innovation. . Welcome to The Global Collaboratory™ With expertise spanning two centuries, diverse industries and more than 90 countries, our company is uniquely positioned to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. For more than 200 years, DuPont has brought world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace through innovative products, materials and services. Our market-driven innovation introduces thousands of new products and patent applications every year, serving markets as diverse as agriculture, nutrition, electronics and communications, safety and protection, home and construction, transportation and apparel. Today, DuPont is proud to build on this heritage by partnering with others to tackle the unprecedented challenges in food, energy and protection now facing our world. With global population expected to exceed nine billion by 2050, DuPont is working with customers, governments, NGOs and thought leaders to discover solutions to today’s toughest challenges. Together, we believe we can provide enough healthy food for people everywhere, decrease dependence on fossil fuels, and protect people and the environment for generations to come. We look forward to what a third century of science and innovation can do. Together we can build a secure energy future. While the demand for energy grows, the supply of fossil fuels will not. With a growing population, we will need to use those existing resources as efficiently and effectively as possible, and find better ways to harness renewable energy sources, as well. These transitions will stimulate new industries and power clean economies. Together we can feed the world. Together we can protect what matters most. Ensuring that enough healthy, nutritious food is available for people everywhere is one of the most critical challenges facing humanity. Our focus on providing for the needs of a growing population will help developing countries prosper, and foster economic growth around the world. A growing global population places increased pressure on people and the environment. As the world develops, humanity places greater value on both life and the earth we all share. We believe that our social and environmental ecosystems are precious, and we’re working to protect them. 2
  • 3. We are driving a new era of sustainable growth as we continue to transform DuPont. We’re building a higher value, sustainable growth company focused on providing solutions to large global issues. The people of DuPont continue to advance our sustainability journey as we explore, discover, innovate and deliver solutions to global challenges. We have three strategic priorities: agriculture and nutrition, bio-based industrials, and advanced materials. In each area, DuPont has leading science that is valued by our customers and which enables us to continue to build a distinctive set of higher margin, sustainable growth businesses. More than ever, sustainability is a core component of each of our business strategies. In 2012 we made tremendous progress against our 2015 sustainability goals, achieving most of these goals three years ahead of schedule. Given that accomplishment, we have begun defining our next set of sustainability goals. In this report, we’ve included two areas that are outlined for 2020. One is Energy, which we announced in 2011. The other is a new category in its first year of reporting – Food Security. In the near future we will announce a complete set of 2020 sustainability goals that will reflect the overall strategic direction of DuPont. As always, the DuPont Core Values of Safety and Health, Environmental Stewardship, Highest Ethical Behavior and Respect for People serve as “In 2012 we made tremendous progress against our 2015 sustainability goals…” the backbone of how we operate as individuals and as a company. They will continue to guide us in our effort to find sustainable, innovative, market-driven solutions that will make lives better, safer and healthier for people everywhere. With our resources, talent, and science concentrated on clear strategic and operational priorities, we will accelerate progress toward our long term growth targets while delivering near term value to our shareholders. We will continue to challenge ourselves with sustainability goals that create value for all of our stakeholders, and through our product innovation, business strategy, and operations we will meet them.

  • 4. At DuPont, our sustainability journey has evolved over the last few decades. We began by responding proactively to calls for environmental compliance, and by reducing our operational footprint. Since the early 2000s, we’ve expanded our sustainability efforts into marketdriven goals that have helped us produce more sustainable solutions for customers. This year, we’re beginning to report progress in a new category, Food Security. Throughout this journey we’ve made significant progress in sustainability – and this year is no exception. Since 2004, we’ve reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent, surpassing the goal by 10 percent, and we’ve lowered our global water usage by 12 percent. Our Market-Facing Goals have seen progress since 2011, producing an additional $2 billion in revenue from products that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and $11.8 billion in revenue from products based on non-depletable resources. “We’ve made such substantial progress toward our 2015 commitments that the time has come for us to look more broadly toward the future.” In the new category of Food Security, DuPont has set goals to help ensure sustainable food production in order to ultimately end world hunger and guarantee food safety. We’re investing more than $3 million each day on research and development to this end, and we’ve already begun to see progress in our goals to strengthen agricultural systems and make food more available and nutritious. We’ve made such substantial progress toward our 2015 commitments that the time has come for us to look more broadly toward the future. We’re focused now on 4 determining our 2020 sustainability goals, as well as defining the ways in which we can make new leaps and bounds toward our vision of solving the world’s greatest challenges. Our perspective is that new technologies - such as biotechnology and nanotechnology – offer compelling benefits, and should be part of the suite of solutions that help bring safe and nutritious food to the world, decrease our dependence on fossil fuels, and safeguard people and the planet. Therefore societal acceptance of these technologies will be critical. We’re committed to working closely with stakeholders to understand concerns, to make sure our solutions are safe, and to be transparent about our work in these areas. We know that our ability for future growth is contingent upon our continued effort to be a socially and environmentally responsible corporate citizen. We look forward to sharing with you a complete set of our 2020 sustainability goals in the near future, and to furthering our sustainability journey. Linda J. Fisher Vice President of DuPont Safety, Health & Environment and Chief Sustainability Officer

  • 6. Science meets Feeding the World. The consequences of hunger and malnutrition are so devastating, so multi-faceted, that no one country, let alone one company, has all the answers. That is why we are committed to working with others — through collaborations with NGOs, governments, academia and others in the industry — and by working locally with farmers from Kenya to Mexico to the Ukraine to address their unique challenges. DuPont is setting sizeable goals that are achievable by 2020 to help end world hunger and ensure food security. Hunger meets Innovation DuPont Pioneer introduced Optimum® AQUAmax® hybrids that demonstrated a more than eight percent yield advantage in water limited environments and almost a two percent yield advantage in favorable growing conditions. DuPont Crop Protection launched Cyazypyr™ insect control, a unique active ingredient to control a broad spectrum of damaging insect pests in many crops around the world. Cyazypyr™ combines effective pest control with a favorable environmental profile, to help growers establish and protect crops to produce a healthier and stronger crop resulting in improved quality and increased yield opportunities at harvest. For example, tomato farmers in Argentina are thrilled with the long-lasting effectiveness at low use rates, which offers great results while minimizing impact on the environment. Farmers have also commented that they are impressed with the short pre-harvest intervals and virus protection that Cyazypyr™ offers. Food Security Challenge meets Inspired Youth DuPont is partnering with 4-H to engage youth in five African countries to build the skill and will to contribute to addressing the food security challenge. Programs include a Leadership Institute for adult 4-H leaders and enterprise gardens for building hands on farming and business training for youth. More than 14,000 young people were impacted in 2012. Smallholder Farmers meet Prosperity Working closely with small farmers in Colombia, DuPont Nutrition & Health is providing Marschall® brand rennet (enzymes) for cheese production – keeping food fresher longer, reducing waste and increasing the standard of living for farmers. DuPont Crop Protection developed special projects aimed at farm safety and education across Brazil through Safety and Health in the Field. More than 115,000 farmers, families and rural professionals were trained in 2012. Food meets Biotechnology DuPont integrates many different sciences to help meet the challenges of growing global populations. Within the agriculture, nutrition, health and biobased market segments, we invest $3 million a day in research and development. Biotechnology is one of the many tools, along with traditional methods like plant breeding, we employ to help meet the world’s food, feed and fuel demands while reducing our footprint on the planet. We are proud of our science and the contributions it has made to making food healthier and more nutritious, fresher longer, safer and more sustainable. ? 2020 FOOD SECURITY GOALS INNOVATING TO FEED THE WORLD The work will center on producing more food, enhancing nutrition, food and agriculture sustainability and safety, boosting availability and shelf life, and reducing waste. ?

  • 7. 2020 Energy Goal Energy Goal For 2020 GOAL: Reduce non-renewable energy use by 10 percent per price adjusted dollar revenue by 2020 compared to a baseline of 2010. We have set a milestone of 3 percent reduction by 2015. We want to address your questions and concerns, and engage in open dialogue about the many important aspects of producing safe, nutritious and affordable food. Join the conversation by contacting us on Twitter at @DuPont_news, through our website www.dupont.com or go to www.gmoanswers.com. IMPROVING RURAL LIVELIHOODS GOAL: 3 MILLION IMPROVE THE LIVELIHOODS OF FARMERS AND THEIR RURAL COMMUNITIES 2012 PROGRESS: 162,670 4,840 NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY USE PER $ OF ADJUSTED REVENUE We know consumers today have more questions than ever about their food, including the presence of GMOs. We — and the many regulators who review our products — have confidence in their safety. We also believe consumers should have access to helpful and not misleading information that allows them to make the best choices for themselves and their families. We support a variety of efforts, such as the U.S. Farmer and Rancher Alliance Food Dialogues, to help consumers connect with farmers and ranchers and learn more about how food is produced. 90 4,860 2010 © 2013 National Geographic Licensed Image. 4,900 2020 ENERGY GOAL 100 2011 2012 GOAL: 90 PERCENT 80 70 60 50 PROGRESS: Reduced 1.2 percent since baseline. Finding Big Energy Savings in Texas In LaPorte, Texas, the DuPont Chemicals & Fluoroproducts (DC&F) business demonstrated how serious energy savings can be captured simply by working smarter. LaPorte is one of our largest facilities in North America, and its products service several DuPont businesses worldwide. The complexity of the site’s operations and its size can present challenges in streamlining energy efficiency initiatives, but as the DC&F team found, sometimes it just takes an assessment of existing operations to find efficiencies. When the DC&F team noticed that refrigeration operating costs seemed higher than necessary, they decided to observe and analyze how the machines were operated and maintained. Upon review of the data they discovered it would be possible to optimize equipment that was needed, turn off equipment that was not needed, and use a more practical cleaning schedule. The team used historical data to determine the ideal condition of the machines, and then coordinated with operations to run the machines using the improved strategy. Training was conducted among operators, and key performance indicator progress was communicated broadly and routinely. The results speak for themselves. Once the program was fully operational, energy savings were found to be 32 percent in the first year alone, far surpassing the initial goal of a 4 percent reduction. The team was able to help the site reduce energy consumption by 2,900 megawatt hours, or 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions equivalents. To put that in perspective, it would take over 94,000 tree seedlings more than 10 years to sequester that same amount of carbon. The team was awarded a 2013 Responsible Care® Energy Efficiency Award from the American Chemistry Council for this initiative. 7
  • 8. 2015 Market-Facing Goals OUR 2015 GOALS MARKET-FACING capture safety, environment, energy and climate challenges facing global markets, and respond with new products and services to help meet our customers’ needs and expectations for more sustainable offerings. 8 879 823 660 667 2010 570 2009 GOAL: $640 MILLION 322 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 2007 2008 2011 2012 PROGRESS: Increased research and development investment to $879 million in 2012. We assess our R&D programs against the following 10 product sustainability categories related to environmental performance as seen by the customer/consumer. To qualify, programs provide a clear superior benefit in one or more categories while being at least on par with the incumbent product in all other categories qualified for inclusion. • Climate Change • Disposal • Energy Use • Ecosystems and Biodiversity • Pollution • Water • Material Use • Toxicological Risk • Waste • Use of Non-Depletable Resources New Products Goal GOAL: Introduce at least 1,000 new products or services that help make people safer globally. 1207 1661 NEW PRODUCTS THAT MAKE PEOPLE SAFER 928 GOAL: 1000 NEW PRODUCTS 675 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 371 In addition to activewear fabric, Sorona® fiber is used in residential and commercial carpets, apparel and automotive mats and carpets. Sorona® provides sustainability benefits throughout the value chain – from polymer production, to extrusion at lower temperatures, to lower dyeing temperatures. With Sorona® fiber, designers, carpet mills, apparel brands, and consumers can make more environmentally friendly choices without sacrificing performance. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT 126 As a renewably sourced material, Sorona® provides enhanced sustainability benefits throughout the value chain, from the reduction of oil consumption to energy and production savings to easy care for consumers. DuPont™ Sorona® contains 37 percent annually renewable plant-based ingredients by weight. DuPont conducted a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of Sorona® and found numerous environmental benefits of Sorona® polymer production compared to nylon. Sorona® polymer production uses 30 percent less non-renewable energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 63 percent compared to the production of an equal amount of nylon 6. The life cycle assessment also shows no catalysts containing any heavy metals are used in the polymerization of Sorona®, and no additional chemical treatments for stain resistance are required, a benefit for manufacturers. GOAL: Double investment to $640 million in R&D programs with direct, quantifiable environmental benefits for our customers and consumers. MILLION DOLLARS Activewear manufacturers and consumers alike appreciate the comfort stretch of DuPont™ Sorona® because it provides freedom of movement, making outdoor activities more enjoyable. Ideal for use in performance fabrics for active outdoor apparel, Sorona® provides comfort stretch and good color fastness to maintain bright, bold colors. And for the consumer, performance fabrics made with Sorona® resist fading from harsh UV light and can withstand repeated washings, extending the garment’s life.

  • 9. 2015 Market-Facing Goals Greenhouse Gas Emissions GOAL: Increase annual revenue by at least $2 billion from products that create energy efficiency and/or significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We estimate these products will contribute at least 40 million tons of additional carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent reductions by our customers and consumers. REVENUE FROM PRODUCTS THAT REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS 2.5 2 1.9 1.5 GOAL: $2 BILLION 1.6 BILLION DOLLARS 2 Keeping Baked Goods Fresh 2010 More food reaches landfills and incinerators than any other single material in municipal solid waste, and yet much of that food was perfectly edible. Bakery products are one of the worst culprits for avoidable food waste, with approximately 30 percent of bakery goods like bread, cakes and cookies thrown away before ever making it onto our plates. Often these items are discarded simply because of the perception that they have gone stale and dry. 1 0.1 0.5 0.7 0.5 2007 2008 0 2009 2011 2012 PROGRESS: Increased revenue to $2 billion in 2012.

Enzymes, such as our PowerFresh™ enzyme range, play a key role in delaying the staling process and thereby reducing bread waste in retail and households. When enzymes are applied in the baking process, less bread needs to be stored, transported, sold, packed, processed and produced per consumed amount – resulting in significant reductions in environmental impact. In fact, just one kilogram of the PowerFresh™ enzyme results in several hundreds of kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents avoided in the bakery value chain. Our enzymes are designed to meet all bakery needs when processing white, whole meal and specialty bread products, such as brioche and panettone. The entire enzyme range demonstrates the ability to maintain a soft, moist crumb texture for considerably longer than traditional anti-staling solutions. Studies show that it is this softness that consumers perceive as freshness when choosing which bread to buy. As a consequence, bread waste is reduced due to fewer product returns and the fact that consumers are less likely to throw part of the bread away. Reducing today’s bread waste is an important way we can help our customers minimize their impact on the environment. PROGRESS: Increased revenue to $11.8 billion in 2012. 9
  • 10. 2015 Footprint Goals Greenhouse Gas Emissions Goal GOAL: Since 1990, DuPont has reduced global greenhouse gas emissions measured as carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents by 72 percent. Further reduce at least 15 percent from a base year of 2004. FOOTPRINT GOALS identify opportunities where we can reduce our operational impacts, including decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and energy usage. 10 2008 2009 16.6 13.9 15.6 13.9 15.4 17.3 16.1 18.6 16.1 2007 2010 2011 2012 Water Consumption Goals GOAL: Reduce water consumption by at least 30 percent at global sites that are located where the renewable freshwater supply is either scarce or stressed as determined by the United Nations analysis of river basins globally. For all other sites, we will hold water consumption flat on an absolute basis through the year 2015, offsetting any increased demand from production volume growth through conservation, reuse and recycle practices.

Specifically, the project reaped water savings (12 million gallons of water recycled annually), energy savings and carbon footprint reduction from decreased natural gas usage (1.6 million pounds of carbon dioxide) and financial savings from a decrease in chemical treatment costs. 2005 GOAL: 15.8 MILLION PROGRESS: Reduced 25.3 percent from 2004 baseline. 6.4 The site’s commitment to responsible use of resources is demonstrated by its initiative to capture and reuse the steam used in its manufacturing operations. Collecting and reusing steam condensate results in energy savings from recycling water that has already been heated and treated. When water is reused in operations, it must be completely free from iron and other deposits, otherwise contaminated water can cause issues when routed to the boiler. The team found that by adding a water softener to the condensate returned from the manufacturing process, the clean, iron free condensate could be readily reused in the process. 2004 BILLION GALLONS The DuPont-Fayetteville Works site is situated along the Cape Fear River in North Carolina. Here, employees work together to create materials that go into products like Tedlar® – a film used to help make photovoltaic solar modules more durable and weather-resistant, Nafion® – a membrane which improves fuel cells, and SentryGlas® and Butacite® – layers used in safety glass for cars and buildings. The site invests millions of dollars in maintaining advanced environmental facilities, many of which relate to responsible water and energy management.
