DuPont Announces New 2035 Sustainability Goals

DuPont announced its new 2035 Sustainability Goals, outlining how the company will deliver growth through its progress in key impact areas of Sustainable Innovation, Resilient Operations, and People, Partners, and Communities.

The 2035 Goals set clear priorities across DuPont’s operations, organization, and value chain. 

“These goals reflect how sustainability is embedded in the way we run our businesses and deliver results,” said Scott Collick, DuPont Chief Sustainability Officer. “They provide a clear framework for accountability and execution—guiding how we innovate, operate, and partner to solve complex challenges and create long‑term value.”

The goals are designed to deliver long‑term value for DuPont’s stakeholders – including customers, employees, suppliers, communities, and shareholders – by aligning sustainability priorities with business strategy, innovation, commercial, and operational excellence.

Strong Governance underpins all of DuPont’s sustainability efforts, providing accountability, consistency, and alignment across businesses and functions. This approach ensures sustainability is woven into decision‑making and execution at every level of the company.

Sustainable Innovation

Through Sustainable Innovation, DuPont will commit to achieving a significant majority of the company’s revenue through products and solutions that are expected to deliver direct sustainability advantages to our customers, with new offerings designed to provide measurable health, water, or climate benefits. 

DuPont is also committed to minimizing, eliminating, or avoiding substances of concern in its products, applying Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) principles across the portfolio, and reporting progress toward substance phase‑outs.

Resilient Operations

Under Resilient Operations, DuPont will build on its strong climate momentum—already delivering greater than 75% reductions in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2019 and over 55% progress in Scope 3 since 2020. This helps achieve science-based greenhouse gas reductions across all scopes by 2035. 

The company will also continue to advance toward net-zero emissions by 2050. This goal will be enabled through expanded renewable energy adoption, operational efficiency improvements, and strengthened supplier engagement. 

DuPont will also embed circular economy principles across its business models by increasing circular content in products and packaging, reducing waste intensity, and strengthening water stewardship at priority sites using globally recognized standards.

People, Partners, & Communities

Through its focus on People, Partners, and Communities, DuPont will continue to prioritize workplace safety, with the goal of zero injuries in total recordable incident rates. 

DuPont is also committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where employees feel supported and are empowered to innovate. DuPont will also advance responsible procurement by communicating clear human rights and responsible sourcing expectations for suppliers.
