RT OF OUR COMPANYDuPont is executing a plan to deliver higher growthand higher value for customers and shareholders byenabling greater food security and safety, creatinghigh performance, cost-effective and energy efficientadvanced materials across industries, and deliveringrenewably sourced bio-based materials and fuels.Through all of this work, our goal is to drive sustainablegrowth — creating shareholder and societal value whilereducing the environmental impact of our value chains.We are advancing the leading edge of innovation,helping customers find solutions to some of the mostpressing needs of our age, while applying this model ofsustainable growth as our guide.As we operate across 208 DuPont production facilitiesaround the world, we have significantly reduced ourenvironmental footprint, and we have made goodprogress on a number of other sustainability fronts.We are well on track to achieve our energy utilizationgoal for 2020. In fact, we met our 2015 milestone twoyears early as a result of reducing our energy usagesignificantly more than we were aiming for. We alsomade excellent progress toward meeting our 2020 food“DuPont is a true trailblazer and leader,demonstrating that sustainability can providea competitive advantage in the marketplaceand drive value for our shareholders…”security goals, particularly in the area of engaging andeducating youth in Africa on optimal food productiontechniques.We are also proud to have introduced a new SupplierCode of Conduct, which extends the commitments andexpectations of our Core Values to the many thousandsof people who provide the necessary supplies andmaterials to our company. And we continued to deepenour sustainability efforts with customers around theworld in exciting new ways, as this report highlights.In this regard DuPont is a true trailblazer and leader,demonstrating that sustainability can provide acompetitive advantage in the marketplace anddrive value for our shareholders while also reapingbroader benefits for society at large.DuPont is executing a strong plan that is deliveringresults now while positioning the company forlong-term growth. As we advance this plan —completing the separation of our PerformanceChemicals business in mid-2015 and advancingthe next major era of market-driven innovation —we will announce a new set of goals, which will bea focus of next year’s report. Through this excitingtransition and beyond, sustainability will remaincentral to our mission and key to our success.Ellen KullmanChair of the Board & Chief Executive Officer2014 DuPont Sustainability Progress Report 3


CommitmentA MATTER OF SUSTAINAn Interview with our Chief Sustainability OfficerThis was another successful year for DuPont as we continued to work toward driving down our environmentalfootprint — the impact of our company’s operations on the environment — while also increasing thesustainability of our products. Chief Sustainability Officer Linda Fisher discusses DuPont’s environmentalperformance and the role the company is playing in creating a more sustainable future.Q. What are some recent sustainability highlightsfor the company?A. We have exciting progress to report on several differentfronts. Let’s start with some innovative product lines that ourcustomers are using to reduce environmental impacts in theproduct-use phase. We recently commercialized DuPont Tyvek ® ThermaWrap , a new version of our house wrap,which acts as a low emissivity, metallizedweather barrier to help improve the energyefficiency of buildings. We also partneredwith Procter & Gamble to build a newenzyme technology that delivers thecleaning power of warm-water whenwashing clothes at energy-saving coldwatertemperatures. And our agriculturalcustomers continue to apply crop protectionmaterials in ways that are smarter, safer, and usingdramatically less product.On the operational side of the business, our Spruance sitein Richmond, Virginia, redesigned their manufacturingprocesses to improve productivity while reducing energy useand greenhouse gas emissions. We’re proud that this sitewas recognized by the Governor’s Environmental ExcellenceAwards Program, just as we’re proud of all the initiatives atour facilities across the world to realize our long-standingcommitment to sustainability.DuPont Tyvek ® ThermaWrap LE is made with a metallized, low-emission(low-e) surface that reflects solar radiation away from the building.Q. How have we broadened the reach of oursustainability engagement?A. DuPont is involved in a number of leading edgetechnologies, and stakeholder engagement is a priorityfor us. The question is, how do we tap into these differentperspectives? We are finding more opportunities to engagedirectly with customers, investors, suppliers, employees andother important stakeholders and thought leaders about theprogress of our work in sustainability.For example, earlier in 2014, DuPont began an Insight Seriesto engage with key stakeholders on new and emergingtechnologies. This allowed us to bring together scientists,NGOs, policy-makers, academics, and other interestedstakeholders to discuss a wide range of views on the potentialbenefits and risks of new technologies and their abilityto help solve global challenges related to food, energy,and human and environmental health. These are valuableopportunities for DuPont leaders to listen and learn fromthese diverse perspectives. Inside the company, we increasedemployee engagement initiatives with monthly webinarscovering sustainability issues. In addition, we launched aglobal campaign about personal environmental responsibilityon Earth Day, and continued recognizing achievements ininnovation and operations with our annual Sustainable GrowthExcellence Awards.Q. DuPont achieved its 2015 market facing andfootprint goals two years early. Do you think theywere ambitious enough? How are you building onthese in the future?A. In 2006 we made two pretty dramatic commitments.First, we set a high bar for our footprint goals and second, wewere among a handful of companies to expand our focus ofsustainability to include our products in the global marketplacethrough our market-facing goals. We learned a lot fromcommitting to these goals, and we are proud to have realizedthe targets well before our 2015 target date. For example, from1990 to 2004, DuPont reduced global air carcinogen emissionsby 92 percent. And since 2004, we have realized an additional63 percent reduction in air carcinogens. This translates intoprotecting human lives. On the market-facing side, we havebeen meeting high targets as well, including boosting revenuefrom products that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from$100 million in 2007 to $2.5 billion in 2013.4 2014 DuPont Sustainability Progress Report


ABILITYNow, we are taking all of the learnings from the footprint andmarket-facing goals, and embedding them into the corporatestrategy and growth plan. We are finalizing new 2020 goalsthat will be announced in 2015, that will guide the next stepsin our sustainability journey. Looking ahead, as Ellen said inher letter in this report, DuPont is becoming a dramaticallydifferent company and our sustainability goals will supportthis critical transformation.Q. Have there been any notable challengesor areas for improvement in the company’ssustainability performance?A. We are pleased with and proud of the strides we havemade in embedding sustainability into our business strategy,including reducing our operational footprint. However, wehave identified several key areas where we can improve oursustainability platform and results.© 2011 Rich Clement/BloombergLinda J. Fisher serves as Vice President — DuPont Safety, Health &Environment and Chief Sustainability Officer. She has responsibility foradvancing DuPont’s progress in achieving sustainable growth; DuPontsafety, health and environmental programs; the company’s global productstewardship, regulatory affairs, and government affairs programs; andcorporate philanthropy. She joined the company in July 2004.Q. What key messages would you like readersof the report to take away?“DuPont reduced global air carcinogen emissions by 92 percent. And since 2004,we have realized an additional 56 percent reduction in air carcinogens.”For example, I think we have done a solid job of understandingour customers — DuPont would not be a successful companyotherwise — but there is always room to improve in this areaespecially as many of our customers continue to deepen theirown sustainability commitments and efforts. We also recognizeevolving expectations around supply chain sustainability andhave begun to take action in this area. For example, we recentlypublished a new Supplier Code of Conduct which clearlycommunicates our commitment to the DuPont core values aswell as our expectation that our suppliers understand thesecore values as well. We are also reviewing ways to conductsupplier assessments more efficiently to help us make betterdecisions in sourcing and logistics.Another area where we can do better is water. Over the years,we have focused a great deal on the important global challengeof climate change. We need to apply this same expertise andcommitment to our global water use. While we have realizedsome important water conservation successes, we shouldexpand our understanding of water risks, and put water on ahigher priority level for our sustainability efforts going forward.A. Sustainability is a journey and reflects the dynamicnature of both an enterprise like ours and the largersocietal and environmental context in which we operate.We are proud of our longstanding commitment tosustainability and the important achievements we havemade in this area, some of which are highlighted in thisreport. But we know that’s not enough.We hope this report will spark a meaningful dialogue withyou and our other stakeholders who share our belief insustainability as good business as well as good corporatecitizenship. So we ask you to challenge us. Where can wecontribute more? Who should we be working with? Wewant our stakeholders to keep engaging with us, keephelping us see what we can do better. We will listen.“We need to apply our same expertise and commitment we have to climatechange to our global water use.”2014 DuPont Sustainability Progress Report 5

FOOTPRINT SUSTAINABILITYGary SpitzerSenior Vice President for Integrated Operations & Engineering“DuPont continues to integrate sustainability into our globaloperations. Every day, our employees work collaboratively toidentify sustainable best practices. We view sustainability ascritical for our success both as a company and as a responsiblecorporate citizen. While we’ve made substantial progress, ourfocus is on the future. For us, sustainability is much more thana goal to be achieved; it’s an ongoing commitment. We willfoster this commitment by constantly challenging ourselves,and finding new ways to further reduce our footprint.”Sustainability at DuPont DordrechtThe Dordrecht, Netherlands site demonstrated how an integrated environmentalprogram supported by a network of energy champions can lead to dramaticimprovements in our environmental footprint.Spread across more than 130 acres of land, Dordrecht is one of the largestDuPont facilities in Europe, and its product lines serve several DuPont businessesglobally. Its sheer size, combined with diverse products manufactured at thesite, presented challenges in reducing the plant’s environmental impact in linewith the 2020 Energy Goal and other sustainability targets. The 2020 EnergyGoal drives the plants to reduce energy costs by three percent every year withoutinhibiting an increase in production.In order to overcome these challenges, the Dordrecht team turned toDuPont’s global network of site energy champions. At DuPont, environmentalimprovements are not left up to each DuPont plant in isolation. Each DuPontsite is part of a larger network that includes energy champions — employeesselected to track global energy performance and identify key improvementopportunities. Once a month, the network meets with site environmental expertsto collaboratively solve problems, share ideas, and identify ways to further reduceDuPont’s environmental footprint.This regular communication has resulted in tangible changesat the Dordrecht plant, with the following impacts:• The Dordrecht site used 14 percent less energy in 2012 than in 2005 toproduce the same volume.• Annual CO 2 emissions have decreased by approximately 50,000 tonnesannually — roughly equivalent to the emissions produced by 15,000 mediumsizedcars each driving 12,000 miles per year.• Water consumption has declined 28% since 2006.• The site has been ISO 14001 certified for over 10 years.DuPont Dordrecht facility, NetherlandsDUPONT 2020 ENERGY GOALENERGY GOAL FOR 2020GOAL: REDUCE NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY USE BY 10 PERCENT PERPRICE ADJUSTED DOLLAR REVENUE BY 2020 COMPARED TO A BASELINEOF 2010.

PartnersMARKET-FACING SUSTAINABILITY“Helping our customers succeed is central to DuPont’smission as a science company. We were an early adopter ofsustainability as one way to achieve that success. Therefore,we incorporate sustainability factors directly into the designand development of our products and services to giveour customers a competitive edge while also protectingprecious resources and the environment. We believe thatscientific advances and sustainability go hand in hand tomeet increasing demands while addressing pressing needs inconservation and environmental protection.”Doug MuzykaSenior Vice President and Chief Science & Technology OfficerOptimizing Sustainability for Growers Using Smarter TechnologyDuPont Pioneer has created a new mobile tool called Encirca SM to help growerscare for their farms by providing exactly what the crop needs, at the right rate andat the right time, so resources aren’t overused or wasted. Encirca SM is a suite ofprecision farming tools that use GPS technology to help growers make real-time,actionable decisions that can positively impact their operations’ productivitywhile driving down their environmental footprint. Helping growers make moreinformed decisions about the resources required for productive farming is oneway DuPont contributes to optimal performance and sustainability.Advancing Solar Cell Efficiency with Solamet ®There is a science to boosting the power output from a solar cell. Through theapplication of new metallization materials to the front and rear sides of solarcells, these cells are enabling greater efficiency than ever, and at less cost. Overthe last 12 years, advances in Solamet ® metallization pastes from DuPont havealmost doubled the efficiency of solar cells. Not only does every percentageimprovement result in a 5% reduction in the cost of the overall solar powergeneration system, today it takes just half the panels to generate the sameamount of electricity that it did twelve years ago. With fewer panels needed foreach system, the costs for transportation, racking and mounting components,installation and labor decrease, which means increased sustainability andreduced cost for customers.Zytel ® nylon helps to improve fueleconomy, reduce noise, emissionsA new lightweight automotive oil sump — the lowershell of the oil pan module is helping the Swedishcommercial vehicle manufacturer Scania reducenoise, emissions and weight. The adoption of theDuPont Zytel ® nylon resin for this applicationhas enabled a reduction in the weight of thecomponent by over 50 percent, or 6 kg, versus itsaluminum predecessor. Lightweighting commercialvehicles translates to improved fuel economy andreduced emissions, both of which help automotivecustomers drive down their environmentalfootprints.DuPont and LION Collaborate to Better Protect Firefightersand First RespondersDuPont and LION have collaborated on new gear for firefighters and firstresponders that protects from the inside-out. LION, a global leader in protectivegear for first responders, was the first company to adopt new Kevlar ® productsin blends with Nomex ® to provide maximum protection. Every layer of LION’sfirefighter protective apparel includes Kevlar ® and Nomex ® . Increased hazardsaround the world, especially in growing urban environments, require advancedmaterials that provide maximum protection for those who protect us every day.Kevlar ® and Nomex ® are the leading protection brands, steeped in a history ofproven performance and advanced testing and technologies. Both LION andDuPont know that the best way to provide value to our first responder customersis by listening to their challenges and needs and then responding with solutionsthat improve their comfort and safety in the line of duty.$2.5 BILLIONANNUAL REVENUE FROM PRODUCTS THAT CREATEENERGY EFFICIENCY AND/OR SIGNIFICANTLYREDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS1964NUMBER OF NEW PRODUCTS ORSERVICES THAT MAKE PEOPLESAFER GLOBALLY45.7 MILLIONMETRIC TONS OF CO 2 eCUMULATIVE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSREDUCED BY CUSTOMERS AND CONSUMERS(2007-2013)$1 BILLIONINVESTMENT IN R&D PROGRAMS WITH DIRECT,QUANTIFIABLE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS FOROUR CUSTOMERS AND CONSUMERS10 2014 DuPont Sustainability Progress Report


SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITYShelley StewartVice President — Sourcing & Logistics and Chief Procurement OfficerThe Supplier Code of Conduct“At DuPont, we view our suppliers as partners in our success as acompany. We are doing incredible things to make the world moresustainable with our products, and we continue to make strides inour DuPont-owned facilities to become more sustainable. However, asuccessful approach to sustainability requires us to also embed ourcommitment to sustainability into our supply chain. An importanttool to help us do that is the Supplier Code of Conduct, whichapplies to our suppliers all around the globe. Like the DuPont Codeof Conduct for employees, it’s built around our Core Values, whichaddress all facets of sustainability.”DuPont is built on our Core Values of Safety & Health, Environmental Stewardship,Respect for People, and Highest Ethical Behavior. Together, these serve as thebackbone of our company, and lay the foundation on which our sustainabilityefforts are based.The Supplier Code of Conduct sets out our expectations for suppliers aroundour core values. Our goal is that our suppliers, who are integral to DuPont, willembrace these values and share our commitment to sustainability.DUPONTCOREVALUESSAFETY & HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIPRESPECT FOR PEOPLEHIGHEST ETHICAL BEHAVIOR• The Code begins with Safety and Health, addressing not only workplace safety,but also the safety of the products our suppliers provide us, and includessetting safety and health goals.• Knowing that Environmental Stewardship and the efficient use of resourcesis an essential part of doing good business, the Code points suppliers tothe principles of Responsible Care ® . It also encourages them to have theirown robust sustainability program to address the reduction of greenhousegas emissions, management of water use, improved energy and resourceefficiency, and waste reduction, as well as the use of renewable resources intheir own supply chains.• DuPont works hard to be a respected corporate citizen in this world andwe value our reputation as one of our most important assets. We requirecompliance with rules and laws, but more so, we expect an ethical mindsetwhen doing business with and on behalf of DuPont.• The Code ends with Respect for People, and our commitment to the guidelinesof the UN Global Compact regarding worker treatment. It also includes thevalue of diversity and inclusion in the workforce as well as in the supply chain,and our belief that creating an environment of professionalism, dignity andrespect fosters engagement, innovation, and excellence.Equally important to applying the Supplier Code of Conduct at their ownworkplace is for suppliers to cascade it down through their own contractorsor vendors. No one can turn a blind eye to the treatment of employees,environmental responsibility, or ethical behavior across the supply chain. We holdourselves to high standards and expect those working with us to do the same.Supplier Code of ConductThe Core Values of DuPont are the cornerstoneof who we are and what we stand for as a companyOur goal is that our suppliers, who areintegral to DuPont, will embrace these valuesand share our commitment to sustainability.2014 DuPont Sustainability Progress Report 11
