DuPont Nutrition & HealthSUSTAINABILITY

Underpinning all we do at DuPont Nutrition & Health is the fundamental understanding that we’re borrowing this planet. Our decisions must always consider our planet and the people on it.

Today, this notion is becoming even more important as it relates to health and nutrition. With an ever-increasing population, massive challenges in food waste, health and wellness and an even greater interest from consumers about what’s in their food, only inclusive solutions will help deliver the needs of today, while protecting tomorrow.

At DuPont Nutrition & Health, we do this by drawing from strengths across our organization. We’ve instituted a Sustainability Board, led by our Vice President, that helps drive a comprehensive strategic approach, embedding sustainability goals into each of our businesses and functions. Using the industry’s broadest portfolio—from vegetable-based proteins to protective food cultures and enzymes to probiotics and excipients, we can help solve the world’s greatest challenges, partnering with customers to deliver the essential innovations to thrive.

As the quest continues, we believe it’s only through close partnerships that we will all succeed. We deeply welcome and appreciate sustainable ideas and initiatives from networks across the value chain as we make this journey together.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY: THE THREE PILLARS

Our strategy covers three core areas that guide our practices and the solutions we can provide for customers and other partners. By 2020, we aim to accomplish several goals to advance our position as a global sustainability leader.

SUSTAINABLE SOURCING: Protecting Life on Land and Under Water

We’ve always seen the beauty in nature and how the land and sea can help create nutritious foods and wellness options. From seaweed to soy, virtually all our raw materials are bio based. Our unique capabilities in life cycle assessment and our sustainable sourcing strategies ensure that our bio-based raw materials are preserved and sustainably managed and that we select suppliers that share our views. Where there aren’t sourcing standards to protect the environment or the people behind the products, we aim to create them ourselves.

2020 Sourcing Goals:

• Sustainable Sourcing Program Develop and implement sustainable sourcing program for 90% of all bio-based raw materials including: palm, soy, seaweed, wood, locust bean kernels and guar.

• Soy Protein Develop and implement Sustainable Soy Sourcing Policy to drive sustainable sourcing of all soy beans and flakes.

• Palm oil and derivatives Source 100% certified sustainable palm oil and derivatives and implement Sustainable Palm Oil Sourcing Policy.

• Sustainability Assessment of Suppliers Expand the scope of sustainability assessments based on SEDEX to at least 100 Tier One suppliers and contract manufacturers.

SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS: Responsible Production for a Cooler Planet

We have a substantial physical manufacturing presence which makes it critically important to reduce our environmental footprint. We also look at the social aspects of manufacturing including human safety, health and welfare, and community development.

2020 Operations Goals:

• Energy & Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Increase share of renewable energy to 20% of total energy use, target elimination of coal and reduce GHG emissions with 20% per revenue (2010 baseline).

• Water Consumption Reduce water consumption with 20% per revenue (2010 baseline) and establish water mitigation plans at high water risk sites.

• Sustainability Audits All manufacturing* sites go through a sustainability audit focusing on Health & Safety, Labor, Environmental practices and Business ethics.

• Waste Impact Less than 10% waste to landfill and 10 projects on packaging, transport, and contract manufacturing that reduce impacts significantly.

*A limited number of our smallest manufacturing sites are out of scope.

OUR THREE PILLAR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY:We use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to help us more deeply entrench sustainability into our business and innovation process.
