WILMINGTON, Del., April 22,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) today
announced it has joined Apple's Supplier Clean Energy Program. By
participating in the program, DuPont has committed to use 100
percent renewable electricity, including renewable energy credits
(RECs) in its manufacture of all products for Apple – a key
milestone in achieving renewable electricity and climate
stewardship goals outlined in DuPont's 2030 Sustainability
Goals.
"DuPont is proud to join Apple's Supplier Clean Energy Program,"
said Jon Kemp, President, DuPont
Electronics & Industrial. "Together, we are working to support
a transition to clean energy and are positively addressing climate
change. Sustainability has been a focal point for our business and
we're committed to partnering with our customers and suppliers to
advance the adoption of clean electricity and reduce environmental
impacts along the electronics industry value chain."
Today's announcement follows a series of actions DuPont has
taken to support its Climate Action goal to reduce greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions 30% by 2030, sourcing 60% of electricity from
renewable energy and delivering carbon neutral operations by
2050:
- In 2021, DuPont achieved 15% renewable electricity, including
renewable energy credits (RECs), which will be highlighted in the
company's sustainability report publishing on May 2, 2022. This includes DuPont's Interconnect
Solutions business (ICS) — part of the Electronics & Industrial
segment and manufacturer of products sold to Apple — which now
powers 95 percent of its global operations using renewable
electricity.
- DuPont is a member of RE100, a global environmental initiative
led by the Climate Group in partnership with CDP, which brings
together companies committed to shifting the electricity used
globally in its operations to 100 percent renewable energy.
- In 2021, the company signed a virtual power purchase agreement
(VPPA) with a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC. The VPPA
wind power project is scheduled to commence operations in 2023 and
is expected to deliver approximately 528,000 megawatt hours (MWh)
of wind-generated renewable electricity annually to the local grid.
This is equivalent to approximately 25 percent of the company's
total electricity needs today.
