DuPont, one of the world's premier manufacturers of advanced materials, has officially reached 100% renewable electricity at its US healthcare manufacturing facilities.
The Delaware-based firm managed the feat by investing heavily in Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) – a mechanism that has formed a large part of its net zero strategy.
These RECs, alongside DuPont's other sustainable initiatives, have helped it to slash Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which are down 76% since 2019.
More impressively however, the company has managed to reduce its Scope 3 emissions – generally considered the most difficult area of an organisation's operations to decarbonise – by 66% since 2020.
Now, with DuPont's US facilities fully green, its leadership team will looking to replicate the same achievement globally.
