DuPont Sets 2030 Sustainability Targets

DuPont, emphasizing the importance of sustainability in achieving fundamental innovations aimed at supporting societal development, has made statements regarding its '2030 Sustainability Goals'. Inspired also by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established to identify the world's most pressing challenges requiring solutions, DuPont determined its nine long-term goals while incorporating feedback from customers and stakeholders alongside evaluations of company activities.
