WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE:
DD) Interconnect Solutions (ICS) — a part of the Electronics &
Industrial (E&I) business segment — has set a business ambition
of Zero by 2030, with the goal of reaching carbon neutral
operations for the global ICS business segment by 2030. Today
DuPont announced that as of September 1,
2021 the ICS business achieved the milestone of 95 percent
of global operations now powered with renewable electricity. This
represents a significant step forward on DuPont's corporate
Acting on Climate commitment to source 60 percent renewable
electricity by 2030 and deliver carbon neutral operations by
2050.
"At DuPont ICS, we want to be a leader in making impactful
change by acting on climate," said Avi
Avula, DuPont Vice President, General Manager, ICS. "We are
taking #OneStepGreener1 toward our business
aspiration of Zero by 2030, by switching our electricity
that is sourced from fossil fuels to renewables. Sustainability is
embedded in our vision, and as a total solutions partner, we are
innovating in new ways for our customers. We also are taking action
in our footprint to enable the entire value chain to reduce its
carbon footprint as part of actions supporting the UN Climate
Change Conference COP26, such as the
#TogetherforOurPlanet1," said Avula.
"Achieving our sustainability goals means leading by example and
partnering with suppliers and customers who are also committed to a
sustainable future," said John
Singer, Vice President, Integrated Operations, DuPont
Electronics & Industrial. "We are designing our new products
with rigorous sustainability principles and we are developing
programs to further reduce water consumption in our manufacturing
facilities. We are not on this journey alone, and we encourage all
our supply chain partners to join with us."
This commitment propels ICS to a leadership position in the
electronic materials industry and demonstrates how we deliver on
our sustainability-driven business goals. At DuPont, we are proud
that our customers' devices — ranging from the Mars Rover to the
next generation 5G smartphones and advanced automobiles — use
printed circuit boards, antennas, connectors, thermal management
and shielding systems enabled by our use of renewable electricity.
Whether on Mars, or enabling the latest devices on Earth, DuPont
is on a journey to create more sustainable solutions for our
customers while also reducing our own carbon footprint. We look
forward to creating partnerships with our customers and suppliers
in the coming years to reach our goals.
