DuPont healthcare facilities switch to renewable electricity

DuPont (NYSE: DD) announced that its 12 U.S.-based healthcare manufacturing facilities now operate on 100% renewable electricity through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

The transition covers approximately 30,000 megawatt-hours of annual electricity consumption and reduces Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from grid electricity use. The renewable electricity is sourced from U.S.-based generation facilities.

"Powering these additional U.S. healthcare manufacturing facilities with renewable electricity is a meaningful step in advancing our sustainability commitments while enabling a more sustainable healthcare supply chain for the benefit of both our customers and patients," said Dean Childers, Vice President and General Manager of DuPont Healthcare Solutions.

The company stated this milestone supports its 2035 sustainability goals and its target to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Scott J Collick, Chief Sustainability Officer at DuPont, noted that more than half of the company's total global electricity is already sourced from renewables as part of its RE100 commitment.

DuPont operates across healthcare, water, construction, and industrial markets. The company has not disclosed the specific locations of the 12 manufacturing facilities or the financial details of the renewable energy certificates purchase.
