Since 1802, DuPont has been awarded patents for over 34,000 inventions, which means that, on average, it has discovered a new innovation every other day for the past two centuries. Every day, DuPont's 60,000 employees in over 70 countries are working to live up to its proud heritage and its promise to the future to help make life better, safer and healthier for people everywhere.
DuPont's science is dynamic science. It is constantly finding new ways to create sustainable solutions for an extraordinary breadth of industries. One key area of focus is DuPont's investment in bio-based materials. DuPont is integrating biology, chemistry and materials science to create high-performance products that are increasingly sourced from renewable, farm-grown materials, rather than fossil fuels.
This is one example of how DuPont is pursuing its mission of sustainable
growth: increasing shareholder and societal value while decreasing its
environmental footprint throughout the value chains in which it operates. |
