Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
DuPont's U.S. healthcare manufacturing operations are now powered entirely by renewable electricity.
DD matched about 30,000 MWh across 12 U.S. facilities with renewable energy generated domestically.
DuPont said more than half of its global electricity use already comes from renewable sources.
DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (DD - Free Report) has announced that its healthcare manufacturing operations in the United States are now entirely powered by renewable electricity. The milestone was achieved through the purchase of additional Renewable Energy Certificates (“RECs”), in line with the company’s long-term climate roadmap that includes sustainability targets for 2035 and a net-zero emissions goal by 2050.
Per DuPont, roughly 30,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity used across 12 manufacturing facilities in the United States is now matched annually, backed by renewable energy generated within the country. This change helps reduce Scope 2 emissions linked to electricity sourced from the grid, lowering the overall environmental footprint of these operations.
The company also highlighted that this development further supports its participation in the RE100 initiative, which focuses on shifting companies toward 100% renewable electricity. DuPont added that more than half of its global electricity consumption is already sourced from renewable energy, showing continued progress across its worldwide operations.
DuPont will continue expanding the use of renewable electricity across its facilities while working to further reduce emissions. In addition, the company is focused on supporting customers’ sustainability initiatives and advancing a more environmentally responsible healthcare supply chain.
DD has slumped 29.9% over the past year against the industry’s 4.4% growth.
