Partner Profile DuPont Company is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture and food; building and construction; communications; and transportation. As one of the first companies to publicly establish environmental goals 16 years ago, DuPont has a long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability. The company currently purchases renewable energy certificates for electricity generated from biomass and wind energy. These certificates are equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide emissions associated with more than 24,000 cars each year or the amount of electricity needed to power nearly 15,000 average American homes annually. Linda Fisher, DuPont's Chief Sustainability Officer, says, "We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint , while increasing demand for products based on renewable resources. We believe it is important to demonstrate corporate leadership by sending the message that using cleaner sources of electricity is an important choice and a sound business decision."
