    2. Sales by Market DuPont is a diversified company, serving a broad range of industries as highlighted by this chart. Our products are marketed to virtually every industrial sector in the world. We are mainly an ingredient supplier. This position gives us an excellent vantage point from which to introduce sustainable products into the value chains in which we operate – all of which ultimately touch the consumer.

    3. DuPont’s Journey Toward Sustainable Growth

    4. Mission – Sustainable Growth Increasing shareholder and societal value while reducing the environmental footprint throughout the value chains in which we operate.

    5. Issue Perspective: Climate Change Strategic approach to climate change is similar to that of other business issues – identifying and balancing risk and opportunity. Managing Risk Physical, economic impacts (IPCC scenarios, resource shortages, rising energy prices) Policy uncertainty Identifying Opportunities Further reduce our own footprint Emerging markets – bring new products to market Help customers reduce GHG footprint Engage in dialogue with policymakers

    6. Progress to Date Reduced Environmental Footprint DuPont has made significant progress beyond achieving the original goals that were set in 1989. We have achieved a 90 percent reduction in major incidents; 75 percent reduction in air toxics; 92 percent reduction in air carcinogens; 42 percent reduction in hazardous waste (dry); and a 77 percent reduction in our toxic release inventory releases as indicated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Where we generally get most of our recognition is in the area of greenhouse gas emissions reductions. We reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by 72% between 1990 and 2003. In 2004 we sold Invista which changed significantly the footprint of the company. If you take Invista operations out of the 1990 baseline, by 2005 we had reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by 60% versus 1990. These goals were largely achieved by: re-engineering our manufacturing processes to run without certain raw materials re-engineering processes to run with less energy and less waste and emissions Also significant is that during that time we increased our production by 40%- proving that we can have growth while reducing your environmental impact.

    8. From a Business Perspective The States’ Role in Developing a Sustainable Energy Portfolio and System for the Future Business can not deal with a patchwork of regulations across the US so we need states to work together with the federal government to create uniform standards and regulations. States can move the pace of innovation forward by encouraging research, development and deployment of new energy technologies States can encourage segments of the economy to promote energy efficiency Energy efficient buildings Infrastructure development to supports options like commuter systems Consumer education and choices
