DuPont’s Post

We are honored to announce that along with Discovery Education, we've been named finalists in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Citizens Award for the Best Commitment to Education Category.     Together with Discovery Education, we established a multiyear partnership with the Delaware Department of Education to increase middle and high school students’ access to high-quality STEM instructional resources and support the development of career and technical education pathway programs that directly address gaps in STEM careers. We are proud of this collaborative effort and the impact it has had on students in Delaware and beyond.    Learn more about our partnership with Discovery Education: https://lnkd.in/gxeFxDcT   #STEM #DuPontEducation #BusinessSolves

Today we announced our commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In a letter submitted to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), we shared our intent to set long-term science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets, thereby establishing an end-to-end value chain net-zero target to be verified by SBTi in accordance with SBTi’s Net-Zero Standard. The net-zero goal aligns with the rigorous standards set by SBTi and the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. https://lnkd.in/gHFsjuQe #Innovation #NetZero #Sustainability
