Rhea-AI Summary
DuPont (DD) received Science Based Targets initiative validation for its near- and long-term greenhouse gas emissions targets across its value chain. DuPont commits to net-zero emissions by 2050. Its 2035 targets call for absolute emissions reductions of 83% for Scope 1 and 2, covering operations and purchased energy, from 2019, and 63% for Scope 3, covering its wider value chain, from 2020. By 2050, it targets 90% reductions in both categories against their respective baselines.
In 2025, combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 76% below the 2019 baseline, while Scope 3 emissions were 59% below the 2020 baseline. DuPont achieved its previous SBTi-validated 2030 emissions-reduction target ahead of schedule.
