The Procurement Strategy Behind DuPont's 100% Renewable Feat DuPont, one of the world's premier manufacturers of advanced materials, has officially reached 100% renewable electricity at its US healthcare manufacturing facilities. The Delaware-based firm managed the feat by investing heavily in Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) – a mechanism that has formed a large part of its net zero strategy. These RECs, alongside DuPont's other sustainable initiatives, have helped it to slash Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which are down 76% since 2019.

Now, with DuPont's US facilities fully green, its leadership team will looking to replicate the same achievement globally. Inside the energy procurement process More than 50% of DuPont’s global electricity already comes from renewable sources, with all of its European manufacturing sites using only renewable electricity.
