Chemical company DuPont on May 27 said all grid electricity for its EU operations is powered by renewable energy sources.
The milestone was reached with the purchase of renewable energy certificates and the installation of on-site solar panels, the company said in a news release. The achievement brings the Delaware-headquartered company closer to its goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The company has also said it aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse-gas emissions by 50% by 2030 from the 2019 base year.
“At DuPont, we are guided by a core value of protecting the planet, aligning our sustainability goals to meet the expectations of our customers, value chain partners and the communities in which we operate,” said Alexa Dembek, chief technology and sustainability officer at DuPont. “Converting our European Union manufacturing sites to 100 percent renewable electricity is a significant step in our journey to further reduce our emissions, lower the carbon footprint of our products and put us on a clear path toward decarbonization in our operations by 2050.”
