DuPont Achieves 100% Renewable Electricity Across its European Union Operations
May 28, 2025 | DuPontEstimated reading time: 1 minute
DuPont announced 100 percent of its grid electricity is from renewable sources across its entire European Union (EU) operations, through the use of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). This milestone underscores the company's commitment to achieving its renewable energy goal and acting on climate stewardship as part of its 2030 Sustainability Goals, as well as marking a key step towards DuPont's commitment of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
"At DuPont, we are guided by a core value of protecting the planet, aligning our sustainability goals to meet the expectations of our customers, value chain partners and the communities in which we operate," said Alexa Dembek, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer at DuPont. "Converting our European Union manufacturing sites to 100 percent renewable electricity is a significant step in our journey to further reduce our emissions, lower the carbon footprint of our products and put us on a clear path toward decarbonization in our operations by 2050."
In 2021, DuPont joined 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.
The transition to 100 percent renewable electricity in the EU has included the installation of on-site solar panels and the purchase of bundled and unbundled RECs. DuPont currently operates 13 manufacturing sites in the EU.
