WILMINGTON, Del., Dec. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont Executive
Chairman and CEO Ed Breen today
joined fellow CEOs and other global leaders in announcing a
commitment to achieve "inclusive capitalism" through the launch of
a new historic partnership, The Council for Inclusive Capitalism
with The Vatican.
Under the moral guidance of His Holiness Pope Francis and His
Eminence Cardinal Peter Turkson, the
Council is led by a group of global leaders, known as Guardians for
Inclusive Capitalism, that represent more than $10.5 trillion in assets under management,
companies with over $2.1 trillion of
market capitalization, and 200 million workers in over 163
countries.
As part of the launch, DuPont and other Guardian companies and
organizations publicly announced a comprehensive set of measurable
actions and commitments intended to lead to systemic change by
making capitalism a greater force for fairness, equality,
inclusivity, and sustainability. A complete list of DuPont's
commitments, which are aligned to the company's 2030 Sustainability
Goals, can be viewed here.
"Our purpose, to empower the world with the essential
innovations to thrive, is rooted in the passion and proven
expertise of our people, to use science and innovation to create
sustainable solutions for complex challenges," said Breen. "To
me, a thriving world is one that fosters human potential in a way
that enriches the lives of people everywhere and for generations to
come. One company can't do this alone. As a Guardian for
Inclusive Capitalism, I'm excited by the insight and impact we can
create together."
