In May 2024, DuPont announced a plan to separate its Electronics business into an independent publicly traded company. In January 2025, DuPont announced it is targeting November 1, 2025, to complete the intended separation of its
Electronics business by way of a spin-off transaction, thereby creating a new independent, publicly traded electronics company. Effective in the first quarter of 2025, in light of the intended Electronics separation, DuPont realigned its
management and reporting structure as follows:
IndustrialsCo – A leading solutions provider for healthcare, water, and a broad range of industrial segments, powered by high-performance engineered products, leading-edge application development, and top-tier manufacturing. It
includes the businesses within the former Water & Protection segment, the healthcare and non-electronics businesses, including Vespel® parts and shapes, which was previously in Industrial Solutions and Auto Adhesives & Fluids, and
the MULTIBASE™ and Tedlar® businesses, which were previously in Corporate & Other.
ElectronicsCo – A leading global provider of differentiated electronics materials, including key consumables used in semiconductor chip manufacturing, as well as advanced electronic materials enabling reliable signal integrity, power
management, and thermal management. It includes the Semiconductor Technologies and Interconnect Solutions businesses, as well as the electronics-related product lines previously within Industrial Solutions, including Kalrez®.
Once the intended separation of the Electronics business is complete, two distinct companies will emerge. Both will be industry-leading, global companies with compelling growth opportunities.

Position statements represent DuPont’s informed views and opinions on industry-related issues. They cover a range of topics that reinforce our commitment to sustainable growth and are important to stakeholders.
The DuPont Code of Conduct is our foremost global policy and relays our expectations regarding bribery and corruption, conflicts of interest, political contributions, government relations, environmental protection and sustainability,
product stewardship, human rights, Respect for people, ethics reporting, and more. The Code of Conduct requires every employee to conduct company business with integrity, in compliance with applicable laws, and in a way that
excludes consideration of their own personal advantages.
New employees receive training on our core values and the DuPont Code of Conduct within their first 60 days of employment. The course is a web-based training module covering ethics, anti-corruption, compliance issues, and
related topics. Additionally, every employee is required to annually complete a business ethics certification, which contains numerous questions related to ethical conduct and compliance, as well as assertions that the employee has
read, understands, and abides by the Code of Conduct and other critical policies. During the 2024 ethics training campaign, we also had an optional employee survey designed to measure the state of ethical culture at DuPont.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets expectations for suppliers doing business with us. As outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct, we are taking steps to ensure that activities of our suppliers are aligned with our sustainability efforts.
In 2024, we updated the text of the Supplier Code of Conduct to further clarify our expectations for our supply chain in response to emerging regulations and to align with industry initiatives that are important to our customers, such
as the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and Drive Sustainability. The updated Supplier Code of Conduct features several significant enhancements. For example, we added a comprehensive Privacy Policy in the Governance
section, integrated requirements for Operation Clean Sweep, introduced new guidelines for Emergency Preparedness, and refined the Cybersecurity section to align with DuPont's stringent Data Security Requirements, ensuring
robust protection measures. Additionally, the Occupational Health and Safety Policy was meticulously revised to reflect the latest industry standards, reinforcing our commitment to a safe and compliant work environment.
A14
A12 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
Our Supplier Code of Conduct is organized according to our core values and references the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact Initiative, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the
International Labor Organization, the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the global chemical industry’s Responsible Care® program. It details our expectations and requirements on matters of the
environment, labor, human rights, and impacts on society. We include the Supplier Code of Conduct in our Terms and Conditions for all supplier purchase orders. This is in addition to existing contract language and other mechanisms
in place to make sure our suppliers adhere to our Human Rights Policy and all applicable laws and regulations. A Supplier Code of Conduct training video developed in 2024 is available on our Supplier Portal for further clarification.
In 2023, we updated both our Human Rights Position Statement and Child and Forced Labor Position Statement to incorporate more comprehensive language protecting the rights of Indigenous people and other vulnerable groups.
We also updated the contract language in our Master Service Agreements to incorporate human rights-specific indemnity clauses. Human rights training content has been developed for broad corporate use as well.
Reference GRI disclosure 2-26, which includes a description of how reports of misconduct are addressed. Allegations related to Ethics and Compliance, Human Resources (HR), Security, Information Technology (IT), and Environmental,
Health, & Safety (EH&S) are each addressed through this mechanism.
DuPont has established a corporate hotline that is globally available to all employees and any interested party to raise concerns about the Company’s business conduct. The hotline is operated by an external third party. The
Compliance function has visibility into hotline complaints and has the responsibility to assign these matters for appropriate investigation and resolution. All ethics/compliance allegations are investigated and resolved by our Ethics
and Compliance Central (ECC) team, while other non-ethics related matters are delegated to other functions such as HR, Security, IT, or EH&S. ECC maintains all relevant documentation for each hotline case resolution.
In 2024, none of the substantiated ethics matters qualified for our highest-level violation definition. Reported ethics allegations are classified into the following categories: accounting and financial irregularities; conflict of interest;
improper use of DuPont assets; misstatement of official company records; bribery/extortion/inappropriate gratuity; fraud; insider trading; release of confidential information; theft/embezzlement; concealment of non-compliance with
company policy, procedure, or standard; improper behavior by third-party; knowing non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations; and retaliation.
We are invested in providing a timely and thorough resolution for any investigation initiated by the Company. Consistency, fairness, and speedy resolution benefit all parties involved and demonstrate the Company’s commitment to
ethics and compliance. In 2024, the average number of days an ethics investigation remained open was 33 days.
The Company provides resources to assist all employees who encounter ethics and compliance issues that are difficult to resolve. An employee’s manager or supervisor is the first and best resource since this person is familiar with the
employee’s duties. If the manager or supervisor is not available, or if the employee is not comfortable discussing the matter with his or her manager, the following resources are also available:
A15
A13 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
The Company treats all reports of misconduct and subsequent investigations as confidential. Identification, investigative process, and reputation are protected. Management and investigators share information only with employees
who need to address the question or concern. Alternatively, employees can also request to remain anonymous, and the Company will protect the employee’s anonymity when feasible and legal.
To ensure prompt and consistent enforcement of the Code of Conduct, the Company will investigate reported instances of misconduct, such as violations of the law, regulations, or company policies and procedures. Where misconduct
is identified, responsible individuals will be held accountable and disciplined, as applicable, up to and including employment termination and possible civil or criminal action. Making an intentionally false accusation of wrongdoing is
considered misconduct.
To ensure alignment, transparency, fairness, and consistency, all ethics and compliance investigations are resolved by ad hoc, cross-functional Ethics Committees. These committees generally include an ECC investigator, HR, and any
relevant business contacts involved in the matter. Decisions are made by consensus, and implementation of remedial and corrective actions are duly monitored.
Additionally, management works with ECC to perform a root cause/corrective action analysis based on the “Seven Plus Requirements for an Effective Compliance and Ethics Program” within 45 days after the Ethics Committee’s
decision on the relevant actual violation of misconduct, when necessary.
Our ECC team promptly reports every instance of substantiated ethics and compliance matters to the business president, functional leader, General Counsel, and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
In 2024, DuPont received 132 ethics complaints and 26% of allegations were substantiated. Every substantiated violation required an Ethics Committee to decide upon and monitor appropriate disciplinary actions and remedial and
corrective measures.
We must maintain an environment where concerns and potential problems are brought forward. DuPont has a zero-tolerance policy against retaliation. Anyone who, in good faith, raises a concern, reports suspected misconduct, or
provides information related to an inquiry of suspected misconduct should be protected. The Company will investigate any instances of possible retaliation and discipline employees who have retaliated against someone who has
reported possible misconduct.
In 2024, we had no significant instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We determine significant instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations by assessing and evaluating the severity of the impact resulting
from the instances.
A discussion of environmental legal proceedings is found in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K on page 30 under the heading Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

DuPont has a significant role (holds a position in the governance body, participates in projects or committees, or provides substantive funding beyond routine membership dues) in the following membership organizations:
Stakeholder engagement
2-29 Approach to stakeholder engagement
Direct engagement with our stakeholders is a key element of implementing DuPont’s sustainability strategy. Consistent, transparent communication is essential to ensure that our valued customers, investors, suppliers, community
leaders, and other stakeholders receive accurate, credible information and understand the ways we consider their priorities in our sustainability strategy. We partner with our customers, suppliers, and others to deliver solutions that
add value and address global sustainability challenges.
We publish position statements to provide stakeholders with information on our position on key issues such as Climate Change, Human Rights, Product Safety, Transparency, and more. Additionally, our annual sustainability report and
our submissions to CDP’s Climate and Water questionnaires, EcoVadis, and other sustainability assessments serve as communication paths with our stakeholders.
Customers
Open dialogue with our customers facilitates a better understanding of their evolving needs, priorities, and the ways we can collaborate for the greatest possible benefit. We have a disciplined approach to engagement with our
customers to gather insights and align our work to add value. In 2024, we continued to advance learning through our customer and value chain engagements. These customer insights establish a direct link between our innovation
platforms and the sustainability priorities of our customers. The customer insights provide clarity for DuPont businesses and functions, increase the commercialization success of sustainable products, and enable our customers’
success in achieving their sustainability objectives. Climate change is the number one sustainability topic for DuPont’s customers and value chains. Additionally, we integrate our customer engagement program with our portfolio
sustainability assessment (PSA) methodology, enabling our innovation teams to identify and address important and valuable customer sustainability challenges. Lastly, we maintain a multi-functional process to manage requests from
customers for sustainability information that improves responsiveness and enables us to incorporate the requests as inputs to understanding our customer's sustainability priorities.
Additional discussion of engagement with customers is on pages 14 – 15 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
A17
A15 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
Investors
We communicate directly with investors through email, phone, conferences, and in-person meetings. Investor priorities and engagement focus on key sustainability-related interests and transparency. In 2024, investor analysts were
most engaged in our approach to climate, integration of sustainability factors in governance (Board-level engagement, compensation), and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives. Primary mechanisms for sharing
sustainability-related information are the annual sustainability report, the annual proxy statement, and periodic highlights in investor and quarterly earnings presentations. All of these are available on the Investor section of our
website. Sustainability-related press releases are also available at www.dupont.com. We respond to targeted disclosure requests from investor-focused rating and ranking agencies such as CDP, MSCI, Sustainalytics, and others.
Employees
Our sustainability strategy depends on the commitment of our employees across the organization to apply sustainability in the work they do every day. We use several methods to inform, inspire, and seek input from our employees
on sustainability topics. We routinely share information on our strategy, goals, performance, and advancement of company purpose through dedicated sustainability pages and internal news feeds on our intranet. Global town halls
have featured presentations of sustainability strategy and progress and give employees the opportunity to ask questions of leadership. We support local sustainability networks for employees to take on projects that advance our goals
and their local interests, and nurture a culture focused on sustainable value creation. We’ve invested in a sustainability-focused news feed open to all employees that shares news from DuPont customers, peers, and thought leaders.
Additional discussion of engagement with employees is on page 54 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
Suppliers
Our suppliers are interested in sustainability-oriented business opportunities and want to understand and respond to our sustainable procurement initiatives. We continue to expand our global strategic supplier engagement program
to advance progress on climate, supplier diversity, DE&I, and other sustainability priorities. In 2024, we updated the text of the Supplier Code of Conduct to further clarify our expectations for our supply chain in response to emerging
regulations and in alignment with industry initiatives that are important to our customers, such as the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and Drive Sustainability. Our close collaboration and communication with our supplier base
helps us build new capabilities for the future that enable us to meet customer and industry sustainability priorities.
Additional discussion of engagement with suppliers is on pages 60 and 68 – 69 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
Governments
We engage government stakeholders globally through meetings with elected U.S., E.U., national, state, provincial, and local officials and by participating in forums with high-level government representatives, consistent with our core
value of Highest ethical behavior where we conduct ourselves in accordance with the highest ethical standards, and in compliance with all applicable laws, always striving to be a respected corporate citizen worldwide.
Communities
We seek collaborative partnerships that create shared value for the communities in which we operate, live, and work. We support and collaborate with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including Habitat for Humanity
International, Water.org, and hundreds of other NGOs, leveraging our unique capabilities to make an impact in our communities and beyond. In 2024, via financial donations, in-kind product donations, and employee volunteer events,
we supported 772 charitable projects globally through a variety of local and global initiatives. Also in 2024, DuPont completed assessments at 21 U.S. sites to determine a roadmap of local actions and a management process for
developing community action and engagement plans. As of the end of 2023, over 5.7 million lives had been impacted since January 2020 through community projects.
Additional discussion of engagement with communities is on pages 57 – 59 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
About 20% of our North and Latin American workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements.

DuPont identified the topics for inclusion in our sustainability report through two processes:
• Referencing the results of our multi-stakeholder materiality assessment, which was conducted in 2021 to determine “near-term strategic ESG” topics for our businesses; and
To determine near-term strategic environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics, in 2021, we completed a coordinated, multi-stakeholder materiality assessment to renew our strategic sustainability priorities and provide insight
into the changing landscape of ESG risk. The results of the assessment were updated risk assessments for material ESG issues, enabling further integration of ESG topics within our enterprise risk management (ERM) process. The first
phase of the materiality assessment concluded with an executive leadership review of key ESG risk integration within our ERM process.
In the second phase of the 2021 materiality assessment, we focused engagement on our top global customers to gain insight into the sustainable innovations that matter most to their relationship with DuPont and their long-term
business success. In our customer engagement exercise, we confirmed the sustainability priorities of our strategic customers.
To determine additional topics for inclusion in the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report, our Corporate Sustainability team monitors stakeholder expectations for disclosure through direct customer engagement, feedback from our
employees, indicators in investor-focused ratings, and direct engagement with investors. Examples of topics that emerged from these engagements include environmental justice and biodiversity.
In 2024, DuPont conducted a preliminary double materiality assessment (DMA) in preparation for potential future reporting obligations under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Our determination of material
topics was aligned with the materiality assessment process described in the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This comprehensive approach considered both impact materiality, which evaluates the Company's
effects on the environment and society, and financial materiality, which assesses how sustainability issues might impact the Company’s financial performance. The DMA involved structured internal stakeholder engagements, analysis
of internal documentation, benchmarking against industry practices, and a structured scoring methodology for assessing the materiality of potential impacts, risks, and opportunities. The result is a list of material topics aligned with
ESRS standards and additional entity-specific topics not currently covered by the ESRS standard disclosures. The preliminary DMA was completed prior to the CSRD omnibus proposal and we are continuing to monitor progress on the
adoption of elements of the proposal. We will continue to refine our DMA and corresponding disclosures to align with the expected reporting requirements of the CSRD and the scope of the Company following the intended
separation of ElectronicsCo.
The use of the term “materiality” and the topic disclosures included in this report refers to definitions of materiality specific to sustainability reporting frameworks, including GRI and ESRS. The determination of materiality or disclosure
in this context should not be read as implying materiality in the context of the U.S. federal securities laws or any other regulatory framework. The approach to materiality for sustainability disclosures is broader than that considered for
compliance with regulated reporting requirements from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

We continue to build an inclusive community of suppliers who meet our high standards and qualifications to partner with DuPont. It is the policy of DuPont that our businesses include and support high-performing small and diverse
suppliers in their supply chains as a component of our global commitment to diversity and inclusion. Ensuring our supplier base reflects our customers, employees, and the communities where we live and work is a key business
strategy. This policy is enabled by our Global Procurement team and implemented by our businesses.

Management processes for energy are incorporated in DuPont’s Environmental, Health, Safety, and Security Commitment, Operational Excellence (OpEx) framework, and Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) Management
System. Our energy management processes are also described in the Acting on climate section on pages 24 and 26 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
Our approach to energy management focuses on optimizing energy use, pursuing energy efficiency initiatives, transitioning to renewable energy sources, and minimizing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with energy
consumption. We actively pursue opportunities to improve energy efficiency across all operations. This includes implementing energy-efficient technologies, optimizing processes, and engaging employees in energy conservation
practices through our Bold Energy Plan. Since launching our Scopes 1 and 2 emissions reduction targets in 2019, we have implemented low-carbon technologies and optimized processes to drive significant emissions reductions. Our
ongoing Bold Energy Plan leverages a network of Site Energy Champions to identify and execute energy efficiency projects, with 40 initiatives projected to contribute to a reduction of 7,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent
(MTCO2e) of emissions in 2024. At DuPont, we view renewable electricity as an opportunity to create value for our customers and as an important element for meeting our emissions reduction goals. We align our renewable electricity
strategy with specific businesses and products to decarbonize their value chains. In 2024, 61% of our electricity was procured from renewable sources or through the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs).
DuPont actively participates in partnerships and initiatives that promote a collective response to the climate challenge. We are involved with the RE100 initiative, which advocates for sourcing 100% renewable electricity by 2050, and
the Alliance to Save Energy, which works to advance federal energy efficiency policy.

Management processes for water are described in the Leading water stewardship section starting on page 30 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
In our own operations, we use water for several purposes, including to cool process equipment, as a solvent, as a production ingredient, and for sanitary purposes. Most of the water used in our operations is returned to local
watersheds following appropriate treatment (either on-site or through publicly owned treatment works). In 2024, we consumed 11% of the water we withdrew. Water consumption includes water used as an ingredient in products or
lost to evaporation or waste streams.
We indirectly impact the water interactions of our customers through our portfolio of products that enable the purification, conservation, and reuse of water in the hardest-to-treat applications. Our products solve complex water
sustainability challenges, from bringing fresh and clean drinking water to millions of homes to minimizing the environmental impact of industrial water treatment and reuse.
We seek to make a positive impact on water and shape a more resilient water future through our collaborative approach across companies, sectors, and borders. Examples of the impacts of our 2024 collaborations are described on
page 34 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
Water governance is effectively established at the site level for each targeted area through the integration of water stewardship processes with the DuPont ISO 14001-certified global environmental management system. The site
water stewardship teams consist of the plant manager, Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) leaders and specialists, and other subject matter experts. Site teams are structured to assess implementation and strategic processes,
offering updates on policies, objectives, and targets. The plant manager is accountable for compliance with water-related laws and regulations.
As a result of our holistic water strategy, targeted sites have effectively recognized shared water challenges, such as possible interruptions in water supply and issues related to water quality. To effectively address shared water
challenges within site catchments, targeted sites have adopted best practices for water management designed to enhance performance, monitoring, and overall water stewardship management. Collaboration with both internal and
external stakeholders has facilitated the identification of focus areas for effectively addressing shared water challenges.

• Stage 1: Establish governance for the strategy implementation at the site and draft water stewardship goals and plan;
• Stage 2: Conduct technical studies of water use at the site, including water balances. Understand water catchment and local issues and align site strategy; and
• Stage 3: Evaluate the performance of stewardship plan, implement best practices, and engage catchment stakeholders. Communicate and disclose performance.
The three-year implementation process at each site is followed by ongoing governance of the water stewardship plan.
• Implement holistic water stewardship strategies at sites in high-risk watersheds and at high-consumption sites by 2030. We selected sites in scope for the goal based on our assessment of site water risk and impact using the
WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas and WWF’s Water Risk Filter tool to model the water risk factors described above. Of our approximately 110 manufacturing sites worldwide, there are 15 sites that either operate in high-risk
watersheds or are among those with the highest water consumption.
• Enable millions of people to access clean water through leadership in advancing water technology and enacting strategic partnerships. As of the end of 2024, we estimate that more than 13 million people have improved
drinking water access and quality since 2019 through the implementation of critical water treatment expansions and upgrades, an increase of 5 million people since the prior year.

Management processes for emissions and climate change are included in our Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) disclosure index on pages A58 – A67 of the Appendices. Our management approach prioritizes
the identification of climate-related risks and opportunities, significantly improving our strategic capacity to understand and mitigate our climate impact.
Since setting our first 2030 climate goal in 2019, we have achieved rapid reductions in emissions. Our comprehensive strategy for climate action addresses our impact, risks, and opportunities. Management and Board oversight of our
climate strategy is embedded in our sustainability governance processes. Progress toward meeting our Acting on climate goal, including the development of roadmaps to meet targets and the engagement of our business units, is led
by an enterprise-level climate strategist. DuPont’s Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer (CTSO) and Chief Operations and Engineering Officer together are responsible for performance on our climate goals and report jointly to
the CEO and Board on progress. At DuPont, our individual businesses continue to refine their climate transition plans, leading to significant advancements in their strategic approaches and a stronger alignment with emerging market
drivers. Each business strategy focuses on developing comprehensive roadmaps that address expected value chain needs. The focus varies based on the value chain and includes Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs)/Product Carbon
Footprint (PCF) assessments and avoided emissions.
Understanding our customers’ climate priorities is a key input to our strategy. In 2024, we continued to advance learning through our customer and value chain engagements. These customer insights establish a direct link between
our innovation platforms and the sustainability priorities of our customers. The customer insights provide clarity for DuPont businesses and functions, increase the commercialization success of sustainable products, and enable our
customers’ success in achieving their sustainability objectives. Climate change is highlighted as a top sustainability priority for DuPont’s customers and value chains.

In 2024, we submitted a letter to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) indicating our intent to set long-term science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets and establish an end-to-end value chain target to
achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
• Scopes 1 and 2 emissions: We set goals to reduce our GHG emissions by 50% (from a 2019 baseline) by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. By the end of 2024, we successfully achieved a 66% reduction in our Scopes
1 and 2 emissions, surpassing our 2030 target.
• Scope 3 emissions: We set a goal to reduce our Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and end-of-life of sold products by 25% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. As of the end of 2024, we achieved a 60% reduction,
exceeding our 2030 goal.
• Renewable energy commitment: To fulfill our RE100 commitment, we set a goal to source 60% of our operational power from renewable sources by 2030. By the end of 2024, we met this target, sourcing 61% of our
operational power from renewables.
Direct emissions are calculated according to the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, using the operational control approach. The following GHGs are included in the calculations: CO2, CH4, N2O, and HFCs,
including CH4 and N2O emissions from biogenic sources that are combusted. There are no emissions from PFCs, NF3, or SF6 in the inventory. CO2 emissions from biogenic emissions are reported separately. While we report our total
gross Scope 1 emissions, we set our goals excluding emissions from the production of energy for third parties, such as non-DuPont tenants or adjacent facilities. The emission factors are sourced from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) GHG Emissions Factor Hub (Year 2024) and the U.K. Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (Defra) GHG Conversion Factors (2024). Global Warming Potential (GWP) rates are from the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) based on a 100-year timeframe. The 2019 base year is the first year of DuPont operating following the separation of DowDuPont. The base year and subsequent years’
data have been recalculated according to the recommendations of the GHG Protocol as the scale of the Company has changed through acquisitions and divestitures. DuPont’s Scope 1 GHG emissions have been assured by WSP, an
independent third party. See the Assurance statement for engagement details and findings.

Scope 2 emissions are calculated according to the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, using the operational control approach. The following GHGs are included in the calculations: CO2, CH4, N2O, and HFCs,
including any CH4 and N2O emissions from biogenic sources that are combusted. There are no emissions from NF3, SF6, and PFCs in the inventory. While we report both location-based and market-based values according to the GHG
Protocol, our GHG emissions reduction goal is based on the market-based value. Biogenic emissions are reported separately. The emission factors are sourced from the U.S. EPA, U.K. Defra, and the International Energy Agency (IEA).
GWP rates are from the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) based on a 100-year timeframe. The 2019 base year is the first year of DuPont operating following the separation of DowDuPont. The base year and subsequent years’ data
have been recalculated according to the recommendations of the GHG Protocol, as the scale of the Company has changed through acquisitions and divestitures. WSP, an independent third party, has assured DuPont’s Scope 2 GHG
emissions. See the Assurance statement for engagement details and findings.
Scope 3 emissions are calculated with reference to the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard, as well as the World Business Council
for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Guidance for Accounting and Reporting Corporate GHG Emissions in the Chemical Sector Value Chain. The following GHGs are included in the calculations: CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and
NF3. The 2020 base year was the first full year of DuPont operating and being able to calculate Scope 3 emissions following the separation of DowDuPont. The base year and subsequent years’ data have been recalculated according to
the recommendations of the GHG Protocol, as the scale of the Company has changed through acquisitions and divestitures.
We continue to improve our estimates of upstream and downstream Scope 3 GHG emissions and expand our disclosures. In 2024, we made substantial improvements in our methodology for estimating several of the Scope 3
categories. We use data from a variety of sources, including economic factors, average LCA data, and primary data. In 2024, we obtained Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data from key raw material suppliers through our Together for
the Planet campaign. The supplier-specific data improved the accuracy of our upstream Scope 3 calculations.

Management processes for waste are a component of DuPont’s Environmental, Health, Safety, and Security (EHS&S) Commitment. This commitment is governed by our Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) Management System,
which is integral to our Operational Excellence (OpEx) framework. Our comprehensive approach incorporates internationally recognized standards such as ISO 14001 and the American Chemistry Council's Responsible Care
Management System (RCMS).
DuPont integrates waste management into its EH&S framework to ensure implementation of the 4R (reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle) waste management program. DuPont's 4R program ensures that all sites reporting data
through our corporate sustainability software adopt a structured waste management approach focused on reducing, reusing, repurposing, and recycling waste. Each site conducts a baseline waste assessment to identify the types and
quantities of waste generated, including details like waste description, characterization, volume, and disposal methods. Sites in the 4R program establish waste reduction goals within their EH&S Management System to guide
initiatives and measure success. Additionally, each site completes an annual verification of their 4R practices through program attestation, confirming compliance and encouraging continuous improvement. By 2030, DuPont aims to
fully implement its 4R waste management strategy across all manufacturing sites. As of the end of 2024, 96% of our sites had 4R programs in place, with each site defining minimum expectations for its waste management efforts and
establishing site-specific waste reduction goals.
Our EH&S Management System is designed to ensure a consistent and effective approach to waste management across all global operations. In 2024, we made significant progress in advancing ISO 14001 certification. By the end of
2024, 78 of our sites had attained ISO 14001 certification. We also demonstrated successful conformance with RCMS, highlighting the effectiveness of our EH&S Management System.
Continuous stakeholder engagement — including engagement with employees, regulatory bodies, and industry organizations — plays a pivotal role in refining our waste management processes. We actively participate in external
bodies such as the American Chemistry Council (ACC).
A35
A33 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
To ensure our waste management practices are effective, we engage in routine evaluations of our EH&S strategy. Progress is reported in detail in the Delivering world-class environmental, health, and safety performance section
starting on page 45 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
As a multi-industrial company, DuPont manufactures a variety of specialized products across our ElectronicsCo and IndustrialsCo segments. Our industrial product manufacturing processes are the primary source of waste generation.
The volume of waste generated by DuPont is impacted by production, quality, and product specifications. Materials that are categorized as waste include unconsumed or expired raw materials, packaging, spent cleaning materials, and
other miscellaneous materials. DuPont’s Waste Management Facility Selection Standard defines our practices related to the handling and disposal of waste and prescribes the requirements for the level of audit needed to authorize
external waste management facilities. DuPont’s EH&S Management System provides the methods to support waste reduction. As of the end of 2024, a total of 96% of DuPont sites have implemented 4R waste management programs.
We are prioritizing establishing 4R programs at sites based on waste volume, hazard, and reclamation value.
DuPont products that are used and subsequently disposed of are categorized as downstream waste. Our organization has introduced initiatives aimed at recovering materials that have reached their end-of-life stage and preventing
them from entering waste streams. Recapturing valuable materials at end-of-use is one of the four elements of DuPont’s approach to Enabling a circular economy, which is described on page 36 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability
Report. Our circular economy approach guides how we address waste, material use efficiency, and design challenges across our innovation platforms and global businesses. It also defines how we incorporate circular economy
principles at four different points in the product life cycle, as each stage of the life cycle requires different types and levels of investment and presents both unique and complementary challenges. Circular economy strategies will
differ for each of our global businesses and innovation platforms depending on their targeted innovation and sustainability challenges. For example, Tyvek® personal protective equipment (PPE) is made using a single material —
high-density polyethylene (HDPE) — making it easier to recycle than other multi-material fabrics. Companies are able to work directly with plastic recyclers and ship used PPE garments directly to them in large batches.

A34 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
Management processes for waste are incorporated in DuPont’s Environmental, Health, Safety, and Security (EHS&S) Commitment, Operational Excellence (OpEx) framework, and EH&S Management System reflecting our core value of
Protecting the planet. We implement our EHS&S Commitment through our EH&S Management System, which is a set of environment, health, and safety standards that apply to all employees and contractors globally. Our EH&S
Management System is certified by ISO 14001 and the Responsible Care Management System at the corporate level. All of our manufacturing sites initiate site-level OpEx implementation plans focused on driving value based on
business needs. Our OpEx framework helps us protect people and the planet by making our sites safer and more efficient through standardized tools, best-in-class technologies, and robust practices that stabilize workflows, reduce
errors, and minimize waste.
We collect data on waste generation and disposal in our operations via a specialized corporate sustainability reporting software application. The data is aggregated at the corporate level for disclosure and is visible at the site level to
inform decision-making about investments in waste reduction initiatives. By 2030, we aim to have our 4R (reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle) waste management and reduction programs implemented at all our manufacturing
sites. For each site, we defined minimum expectations for a 4R program, including the requirement for a site-level waste reduction goal. In 2024, 96% of our sites had 4R programs in place.
DuPont is a member of Operation Clean Sweep® (OCS) Blue, a voluntary program jointly administered by the ACC and the Plastics Industry Association to prevent plastic loss to marine and freshwater environments. OCS Blue
requirements are fully integrated into our EH&S Management System to ensure accountability and the sharing of best practices with our peers in the ACC and the Plastics Industry Association. We provided training on the OCS Blue
program to our global employees that handle plastic resin materials. As part of the training, employees pledged to avoid the loss of plastic to the environment. As a member company, DuPont annually reports the amount of any
unrecovered plastic releases greater than 0.5 kilogram (kg) or 0.5 liter (L) per incident.
In 2024, we had 0 unrecovered plastic release incidents greater than 0.5 kg or 0.5 L.

Reference the Responsible procurement narrative on pages 68 – 69 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
We select suppliers based on category and commodity strategies using a robust six-step strategic sourcing process and a five-step stakeholder approval process. The amount of spend, a key criterion to business and function,
influences the category and supplier priority level, along with considerations of supply continuity and the outcome of risk assessments. Suppliers of raw materials, packaging, or contract manufacturing services (direct suppliers) are
also subject to our product/service qualification process, which is performed by the Product Stewardship and Regulatory team in each of our businesses.
Once selected and onboarded, we evaluate our suppliers based on parameters including, but not limited to, contract value, geopolitical risks, ethics and compliance history, and security practices when deemed necessary. Suppliers
that meet a certain risk threshold based on these and other parameters are determined to be “critical” suppliers. We evaluate new critical suppliers on matters of product quality management, security, business ethics and
transparency, climate change and water security practices, human rights due diligence, and operational excellence.
The strategic sourcing process and stakeholder approval processes apply to the selection of all new suppliers; however, we do not aggregate the number of those suppliers that are determined to be “critical” and subject to screening
on additional topics, including climate change and water security.
308-2 Negative environmental impacts in the supply chain and actions taken
DuPont has several methods of assessing environmental impacts in our supply chain but does not quantitatively aggregate the results for disclosure.
We are committed to the responsible sourcing of minerals worldwide. We support the observance of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of
Minerals, which promotes respect for human rights by seeking practical solutions to curb the violence associated with trade in conflict minerals.[1] DuPont’s long-established Conflict Minerals compliance program requires and
maintains appropriate procedures to evaluate and select suppliers consistent with our core values, Human Rights Policy, and Supplier Code of Conduct. DuPont builds upon this framework as a member of the Responsible Minerals
Initiative (RMI), one of the most utilized and respected resources for companies addressing responsible mineral sourcing in their supply chains. We expect our suppliers to procure, directly or indirectly, from smelters and refiners
certified through RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process.
[1] Presently, Conflict Minerals include columbite-tantalite (cotan), cassiterite gold, and wolframite, or their derivatives, including tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold. Moreover, in addition to 3TG, DuPont’s due diligence procedures include other critical emerging minerals, such as cobalt and mica. We continue to monitor global regulatory developments for
these and other minerals and will update our requirements accordingly.

Management processes for occupational health and safety are described in the Delivering world-class environmental, health, and safety performance section on pages 45 – 47 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
Our approach to occupational health and safety is integrated into our Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability Commitment, our Operational Excellence (OpEx) framework, and our Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S)
Management System, reflecting our core value of Safety and health. We are committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees, contractors, customers, and the people in the communities where we operate. We leverage
our EH&S Management System, which provides a framework of standards, policies, and processes to guide our actions to meet our EHS&S goals. Our commitment to world-class EH&S practices and sustainable operations is
embedded in our company culture, core values, and stakeholder engagement. Our employees recognize that employing robust EH&S practices helps protect our employees, communities, and the planet. Our OpEx framework helps us
protect people and the planet by making our sites safer and more efficient through standardized tools, best-in-class technologies, and robust practices that stabilize workflows and reduce errors.
DuPont uses EH&S Management System audits to maintain compliance with legal requirements and standards; confirm that our system effectively protects people, the environment, and our facilities; and identify continual
improvement opportunities. To ensure a thorough review is completed, site workers and management actively participate in these audits. We use first-, second-, and third-party audits to assess our internal and external
communications and review documents, conduct interviews, and analyze processes to confirm our EH&S Management System is effective and complies with DuPont’s Code of Conduct and EH&S Standards.
We schedule audits on a rotating basis using our EH&S Risk model. Following our corporate policy, each site is required to conduct periodic first-party audits in which the site assesses its key EHS&S practices. Our corporate EH&S
organization leads the second-party audit process for sites in alignment with business resources. We also subject each site or business to formal third-party audits. The third-party audits, conducted by outside independent parties,
review the accuracy of the data from the first- and second-party audits, certify that our EH&S Management System operates in conformance with ISO 14001 and the Responsible Care Management System (RCMS), and assure the
integrity of our sustainability data. In 2024, we conducted third-party site audits to assess our EH&S Management System’s continued conformance to the RCMS, RC 14001, and ISO 14001 systems.
DuPont is committed to the proactive management of emergency response to safeguard the environment and the health and safety of our employees and surrounding communities. Our Emergency Response Program encompasses
comprehensive assessment, planning, and preparedness activities that adhere to global standards.
All DuPont facilities worldwide implement standardized procedures for the emergency containment of hazardous materials, medical response, first aid, treatment, and case management. We prioritize the health and safety of
individuals and are committed to minimizing any potential environmental impact during crises.
Our crisis management framework includes dedicated teams trained to respond effectively at various organizational levels — site, business, country, and corporate. This structured approach ensures rapid and effective action during
emergencies, reinforcing our commitment to our core values.
In line with our principles, we prioritize human health, safety, and environmental respect in our emergency response actions. We systematically identify and manage highly hazardous materials and activate specialized medical
emergency response plans as necessary. Through these efforts, we aim to enhance the resilience of our operations, engage with stakeholders, and promote transparency in our emergency preparedness initiatives.
DuPont has established an EH&S Management System to maintain compliance with legal requirements and stakeholder expectations. The EH&S Management System is certified at the corporate level to ISO 14001 and RCMS.
Our EH&S Management System applies to all employees and contractors globally.

A40 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
Our EH&S Event Classification, Investigation, and Reporting Standard requires employees to report EH&S incidents and any associated symptoms, injuries, or illnesses, including near misses. We train our employees and orient our
contractors on the importance of EH&S incident reporting and instruct them to report incidents through our EH&S management database.
Our incident investigation procedures begin after an incident is reported and the area is deemed safe. We assemble investigation teams based on the nature of the incident. The investigation team documents the facts of the incident
and uses Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) and the Apollo Reality Charting methodology to conduct root cause analysis. At the completion of the investigation, the team issues recommendations for corrective and/or preventative
actions in an incident report. DuPont shares the key learnings from incident reports across the Company to raise awareness and prevent future incidents. We track the completion of corrective and/or preventative actions through our
integrated EH&S management database, which also facilitates incident trend analysis.
In addition to the incident investigation, there may be other actions that require the attention of our EH&S and Health Services (HS) team, including ongoing medical treatment, case management support, and return-to-work guidance.
Reporting and recording occupational injuries and illnesses to governmental agencies and/or compensation programs is also conducted as required by local law and DuPont standards.
In April 2022, we introduced the terminology “LIFE event” to our current corporate EH&S Event Classification, Investigation, and Reporting Standard. LIFE events are EH&S events that have an outcome or potential outcome that results
in life-changing or life-altering consequences, which is consistent with the international standard “ASTM E2920 Standard Guide for Recording Occupational Injuries and Illnesses” Section 6.1.1 section for Level One Severity injuries/
illnesses. The designation is based on injury severity and applies to both actual and potential injury severity. “LIFE” personalizes our Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) terminology and ties to our LIFE Saving Behaviors.
We classify process safety events according to American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 754. Process safety event classification is based on the amount of hazardous material released, the direct cost impacts (i.e., the
cost to repair any damage from a fire or explosion), and other severity factors such as injuries or off-site impacts. By applying standard practices and tools, conducting monthly metrics tracking and follow-up, and leveraging support
where appropriate, manufacturing sites improve their management of equipment critical to process safety.
Internally, our EH&S Team Procedures require Corporate and EH&S teams to review reported events on a weekly basis and the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Days Away from Work Case (DAWC) rate by business and for
the entire company monthly. The monthly TRIR and DAWC reports are shared with DuPont senior leaders, including business presidents and the entire C-suite. Quarterly reports summarizing performance are reviewed with the Board
of Directors and are shared with all employees during quarterly global town hall meetings.
HS also engages with employees on health and safety topics on a regular basis. Regional and site HS teams use a variety of communication media to share information with DuPont employees about health, workplace safety, and
mental and emotional well-being. HS maintains an intranet site to communicate services and creates new, digestible, and relevant content that is posted to the HS home page at least monthly. HS also regularly communicates with
employees about benefits and health topics via email, bulletin boards, and large display screens at sites.
A43
A41 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
Each year, HS coordinates health risk assessments to determine leading health concerns for our employee population, including occupational hygiene assessments, medical screenings, biological monitoring, ergonomics programs,
and hazard communication. Based on the known occupational risks and regulatory compliance, HS executes an annual Medical Surveillance Exam. Many of our sites have an annual flu vaccine program and other services, such as
programs to address diminished capacity and fatigue management.
DuPont HS also provides travel medical screenings and consultations for employees needing to travel internationally. HS reviews potential infectious diseases affecting the travel destination, such as COVID-19, yellow fever, malaria,
etc., as well as other travel-related health risks. HS addresses any identified gaps in health requirements, including vaccinations, health status, and disease exposure, through appropriate referrals for vaccinations and other services. HS
works with a third party to provide medical assistance, referral, and care coordination for DuPont employees who may require medical care while actively engaged in business travel.
DuPont reviews exposure assessments periodically and updates them as appropriate to verify that no subtle changes have occurred between reviews that would change the conclusion of the assessment. When updating exposure
assessments, OH resources consider new hazard information to determine if the previously acceptable exposure is still acceptable. If the exposure is no longer acceptable, temporary controls are instituted until permanent controls
can be implemented to minimize the potential for exposure. The OH resource also oversees quantitative sampling when the qualitative assessment indicates that the OEL may be exceeded or when required by regulations or other
exposure assessment considerations. Reasons for exposure monitoring include the following:
A44
A42 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
Each year, a sampling plan is developed, and progress against it is tracked. OH resources report the results of exposure assessments, monitor data for line management, and track the data to identify trends that may apply to other
work groups, sites, or businesses. Workers in similar exposure groups being monitored are notified of results in a way that meets local regulatory requirements.
Site safety plans are required to have an OH review, which includes an approval procedure for the purchase of chemicals that are new to the site to recognize and control any new hazards. New chemical usage proposals (e.g., existing
chemicals being used in a larger volume, in a different application, or a new plant area) are also reviewed and approved by OH resources so that hazards are recognized and controlled. We require contractors to notify DuPont before
hazardous materials (e.g., radiation sources and chemicals) are brought on-site or when performing any activity that may generate hazards that have not been identified in the work-permitting process. Changes in suppliers, types, or
models of personal protective equipment used to protect against health hazards (e.g., respirators, breathing air, or chemical protective clothing) must also be reviewed and approved by site OH resources. We use the Cority Industrial
Hygiene management system at all our sites to facilitate timely data analysis and maintenance of OH records. We develop real-time dashboard indicators to quickly assess the status of work activities and other information in the
database. Occupational exposure assessments are reviewed in first-party and second-party EH&S audits to confirm compliance with the site, business, and corporate standards and regulations.
403-4 Worker participation, consultation, and communication on occupational health and safety
A safe work environment is built on strong communication. Internally, our communication platforms for worker health and safety information include intranet sites, email, websites, digital signage, posters, computer-based trainings,
and team meetings. Our DuPont EH&S Management System Policy requires each site to lead EH&S meetings at least once per quarter; however, many of our sites hold monthly meetings to provide EH&S training and updates.
Employee attendance at the site-led meetings is mandatory and is tracked at the local level. Sites use these meetings, as well as other systems such as our site safety suggestion programs, to collect suggestions from workers on how
to improve facility safety and site EH&S procedure effectiveness.
Each site also manages external communications for significant health and safety incidents or emergencies with local communities. To inform communities of EH&S updates, our sites generally participate in or host advisory panels or
post on a website or social media depending on the site’s needs.
Annually, we communicate the results of our EH&S Management System audits to our workers and inform them of any decisions or actions related to possible Management System updates. Additionally, all sites have documented
EH&S management review meetings at least monthly.
A45
A43 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
Our EH&S Management System addresses EH&S training requirements, which are key to ensuring our employees understand and comply with our safety standards. We provide all employees with annual training on corporate and
business policies, standards, and safe work practices for the occupational hazards to which they may be exposed. Furthermore, employees must have all certifications and licensing required by applicable government regulations (e.g.,
asbestos, lead, emergency response, hazardous waste, and radiation).
We require each of our employees and contractors to complete EH&S training and comply with applicable DuPont EH&S guidelines, policies, and standards. DuPont utilizes the expertise of external training providers and the
Company’s own functional experts to offer a wide range of courses on occupational health and safety topics. Training is delivered through interactive webinars, self-paced virtual courses, and face-to-face classes. As required by our
corporate standards and applicable regulations, we conduct and document both initial training for new hires and recurring EH&S trainings. In 2023, to enhance our EH&S training process, we introduced a new EH&S Learning and
Development Council and Steering Team. The team is responsible for:
• Creating a training matrix that consolidates requirements for all EH&S standards;
• Enhancing our internal website for improved visibility of required training by job role;
• Implementing an interactive dashboard to track updates to training modules;
• Streamlining the EH&S onboarding module for all employees; and
• Implementing EH&S training for the Operational Excellence framework.
As employees' needs and usage patterns of health services change, DuPont recognizes the importance of providing competitive health and medical benefits as part of a comprehensive compensation package. Our employee health
insurance covers a wide range of medical services, including emergency care, prescription medications, dental health, and maternity healthcare.
In addition to health insurance, DuPont offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to support employees and their families when coping with work and life challenges. Our wellness platform, Personify Health, encourages healthy
lifestyles by engaging employees in personal and rewarding ways throughout their health and well-being journeys.
We promote healthy living and positive thinking through diverse health promotion activities designed to enhance employee health awareness, promote good lifestyle behaviors, increase mental energy, and better respond to
workplace, social, and family challenges and needs.

403-7 Prevention and mitigation of occupational health and safety impacts directly linked by business relationships
The prevention and mitigation of occupational health and safety impacts directly linked by business relationships are addressed in two areas:
Our suppliers — managed primarily through the DuPont Supplier Code of Conduct.
The DuPont Supplier Code of Conduct sets expectations for suppliers doing business with us. The Code is organized according to our core values and references the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact Initiative, the
United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labour Organization, the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the global chemical industry’s Responsible Care® program.
It details expectations and requirements on matters of the environment, labor, human rights, and impacts on society. We include the Supplier Code of Conduct in our Terms and Conditions for all supplier purchase orders. This is in
addition to existing contract language and other mechanisms in place to make sure our suppliers adhere to our Human Rights Policy and all applicable laws and regulations.
Our customers and others in the value chain who handle our products — managed primarily through our Product Stewardship and Regulatory (PS&R) Management System.
DuPont’s PS&R Management System is at the core of our commitment to product safety and risk management. Built on the framework of the American Chemistry Council Responsible Care® Product Safety Code and International
Council of Chemical Associations principles, this system plays a critical role in our product and application development processes. Every DuPont business uses the PS&R Management System to assess and manage potential risks and
identify improvement opportunities. The adequacy and effectiveness of the PS&R Management System is reviewed annually with the goal of improving performance throughout the organization. Central to the PS&R Management
System are Product Stewardship (PS) Reviews. All new and existing products, applications, and services undergo Product Stewardship Reviews, which include detailed health, safety, and environmental impact assessments. PS Reviews
evaluate risks during transportation and during customer use based on a detailed assessment of the chemical, physical, and biological impacts of substances. Risk assessment includes evaluation of toxicology data, environmental fate,
and worker and customer exposure, as well as non-human and environmental impacts. Broadly inclusive, PS Reviews focus on the full product life cycle from product design and manufacture to customer use, safe handling, and
disposal.
100% of DuPont employees at the Company and its subsidiaries globally are covered by our EH&S Management System Policy, which provides the framework for global EH&S governance and guides the implementation of our
Environmental, Health, Safety, and Security Commitment.

Our management approach for training of employees is described in the Our people: Cultivating well-being and inclusivity section starting on page 51 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
In 2024, DuPont employees completed an average of 23 hours of compliance and job-specific training. This does not include additional voluntary, skills-based, and personal development training that is self-directed or led by our
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and functional learning teams that provide professional and career development programming throughout the year.
Omission: Information unavailable. We do not collect training data by gender or employee category.
404-2 Programs for upgrading employee skills and transition assistance programs
We equip employees with guidance and templates to drive their development and careers through a custom blend of experience, exposure, and education. DuPont partners with some of the leading learning organizations in the
world to provide continuous and on-demand professional and functional learning content for our global workforce. Employees also participate in ongoing development through mentorship, career development workshops, in-house
leadership development programs, and skill-specific learning cohorts. As an opportunity to learn through feedback from others, we offer 360 assessments for individual contributors and leaders. We also offer tuition assistance to
assist employees through the completion of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree program that builds competencies for their current role or desired future opportunities. As learning needs emerge, we curate custom programs
for targeted talent pools in the organization. For instance, in 2024 we offered a two-day Summit for 100 leaders in the Asia Pacific region to increase their connection as a community of peers and to build capability in targeted skill
areas such as global mindset and stakeholder management.
Internal mobility and the opportunity to continuously reinvent ourselves are significant reasons many employees choose to stay at DuPont. We utilize a Global Job Leveling Framework to organize jobs, help determine equitable pay,
and enable career development across the Company. The job levels defined by the framework offer a logical and meaningful progression to allow our employees to grow their skills and experience. Updated pay ranges and incentive
targets ensure that we remain competitive in the market.
To encourage all employees at all levels to explore new opportunities, networks, and career paths, DuPont offers a Career Pathways site that enables our employees to:
• Learn about roles within and outside their job family to see which ones might interest them, complement their strengths, and offer them a chance to try something new;
• Browse the actual career paths of employees to see how they shaped their careers through a series of experiences and skill development; and
• Use professional development tools, including a template to define their personal brand and a discussion guide to help them network with employees who have experience in their areas of interest.
In the case of termination of employment, DuPont offers former employees transition benefits that include financial, medical and dental, placement services, and retirement savings plan webinar availability.

404-3 Percentage of employees receiving regular performance and career development reviews
Through the Performance Partnership process, managers provide clarity, direction, and support to their employees so that all team members can succeed as individuals while contributing to our strategic goals. In 2024, 79% of
employees reported having discussed career goals and aspirations with their manager, consistent with the prior year.
In our Performance Partnership process, we have replaced performance ratings with a focus on continuous communication and two-way feedback. Regular manager/employee conversations can focus on a specific topic (such as
personal or professional development, goals, projects, or tasks), or they can be a check-in on the employee’s overall progress, plans, and needs. Having an ongoing performance and development dialogue throughout the year nurtures
an environment of transparency and trust, allowing for sharing constructive feedback, recognizing and celebrating achievements, identifying necessary support, and effectively planning the next steps for growth.
Omission: Information unavailable. We do not measure completion of career reviews by gender or employee category.
Our 2030 People goal includes becoming one of the world's most inclusive companies where employees report high levels of well-being and fulfillment. This goal is interconnected as we recognize that fostering employee well-being
and fulfillment enhances the retention and attraction of our global talent pool.
For a company like ours that is centered around innovation, cultivating a workforce with varied perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences is key to fueling creative thinking required to adapt and grow in a rapidly changing business
environment. We recognize that investing in the health and well-being of our employees is critical for engaging and retaining that diversified workforce to propel the long-term success of our business. Our management processes are
designed to ensure equitable treatment and opportunities for all and this has resulted in positive engagement scores on our employee survey and high retention rates relative to industry peers.
Because our global workforce is comprised of individuals from diverse backgrounds, each with unique needs, growth aspirations, and expectations, we train managers at all levels to cultivate supportive relationships with each
individual employee through a purposeful and continuous dialogue regarding expectations and values relative to their work experience. When managers understand these expectations, they can better adjust work conditions to
optimize employee well-being and fulfillment at an individual level.
This commitment to understanding individual needs and fostering open communication ensures that every employee receives equitable treatment and equal opportunities for advancement, regardless of their background. As we
acknowledge these differences, it becomes imperative to provide tailored support that respects and values each person's perspective. DuPont’s long-standing commitment to our core value of Respect for people includes every
employee, contractor, customer, and associate of the Company being able to work to their full potential in an environment where they feel free to bring their full selves and skills to work each day. We continue to refresh and evolve
our programs, policies, required training, and benefits to reinforce our commitment to respect, maximize employee well-being, and meet the evolving expectations of our employees, customers, and other partners.
Our approach to employee experience and equal opportunity is described further in the Our people: Cultivating well-being and inclusivity section starting on page 51 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.

Discussion of management processes for Supplier Social Assessment is described in the Responsible procurement narrative on pages 68 – 69 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
DuPont selects suppliers based on category and commodity strategies using a robust six-step strategic sourcing process and a five-step stakeholder approval process. The amount of spend, a key criterion to business and function,
influences the category and supplier priority level, along with considerations of supply continuity and the outcome of risk assessments. Suppliers of raw materials, packaging, or contract manufacturing services (direct suppliers) are
also subject to our product/service qualification process, which is performed by DuPont’s Product Stewardship and Regulatory Team in each of our businesses.
Once selected and onboarded, we evaluate our suppliers based on parameters including, but not limited to, contract value, geopolitical risks, ethics and compliance history, and security practices. Suppliers that meet a certain risk
threshold based on these and other parameters are determined to be “critical” suppliers. We evaluate new critical suppliers on matters of product quality management, security, business ethics and transparency, climate change and
water security practices, human rights due diligence, and operational excellence.
Omission: Confidentiality constraints. We do not disclose the percentage of suppliers determined to be “critical” and subject to evaluations on topics including human rights due diligence.
Management processes for customer health and safety are described in the Innovating safe and sustainable by design section starting on page 40 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
Our product stewardship commitment ensures that the products we bring to the market are safe for use across their life cycle and contribute to a sustainable environment. Our rigorous and comprehensive Product Stewardship and
Regulatory (PS&R) Management System is at the core of our management process and commitment to product safety and risk management. Built on the framework of the American Chemistry Council Responsible Care® Product
Safety Code and International Council of Chemical Associations principles, this system plays a critical role in our product and application development processes. DuPont uses the PS&R Management System to assess and manage
potential risks and identify improvement opportunities. The adequacy and effectiveness of the PS&R Management System is reviewed annually to ensure continuous performance improvement throughout the organization.
Central to the PS&R Management System are Product Stewardship (PS) Reviews. As part of our PS Reviews, a cross-functional team of business, science/technology, and regulatory subject matter experts use the protocols established
in our PS&R Management System to assess and address the impact of any new, or modified, product or process. All new and existing products, applications, and services undergo PS Reviews, which include detailed health, safety, and
environmental impact assessments. Detailed PS Reviews are then conducted on a set cadence for products that have not undergone any modifications. Reviews are tailored to encompass product use and potential application areas.
PS Reviews evaluate risks during transportation and during customer use based on a detailed assessment of the chemical, physical, and biological impacts of substances. Risk assessment includes evaluation of toxicology data,
environmental fate, and worker and customer exposure, as well as non-human and environmental impacts. Broadly inclusive, PS Reviews focus on the full product life cycle from product design and manufacture to customer use, safe
A56
A52 DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report Introduction Innovate for good Protect people and the planet Empower people to thrive Governance Appendices
handling, and disposal. As a result, we decide whether to continue developing or modifying a product, application, service, or process. If the findings from a PS Review identify a negative impact, the affected product or process is either
redesigned or discontinued.
Our responsibility is to ensure our products are safe and sustainable by design. As a principle, we seek to avoid, eliminate, or minimize substances of concern (SoC) where safer or more sustainable alternatives exist. We critically
evaluate our operations, value chains, and raw materials to ensure continued improvement in the safety, sustainability, and societal benefits of our products. We detail our strategies for managing substances of concern and
substances of very high concern in the Innovating safe and sustainable by design section starting on page 40 of the DuPont 2025 Sustainability Report.
Our focus is on building transparent relationships with our suppliers and customers and integrating safe and sustainable by design principles to deliver value, support transparency, and drive competitiveness. We employ science-
based methods to assess and mitigate risks early in product design, adapting to new scientific findings. Our Kingston Technology Center applies Green Chemistry principles to reduce hazardous substances and minimize waste. We
evaluate risk vs. societal benefit throughout our products' life cycles, from raw materials to disposal.
To manage SoC, we maintain a SoC list, conduct assessments, and implement mitigation plans. Customer engagement surveys reveal that customers prioritize safe, sustainable chemistry, guiding our alignment of products with their
expectations. We collaborate with suppliers to ensure transparency regarding SoC and explore opportunities for reduction.
We also incorporate SoC considerations into our design for circularity and drive continuous improvement through a portfolio sustainability assessment to inform new product designs and phase-out strategies for existing products.
Lastly, we utilize multigenerational product plans to reduce or eliminate SoC, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
416-1 Assessment of the health and safety impacts of product and service categories
100% of DuPont product categories are subject to our PS&R Management System, which requires all new and existing products, applications, and services to undergo PS Reviews that include detailed health, safety, and environmental
impact assessments. We conduct PS Reviews to assess and manage risk prior to commercialization and conduct additional reviews at a frequency commensurate with overall product risk. Businesses are also required to conduct PS
Reviews when significant product changes occur, such as new product use or application areas, manufacturing asset changes, regulatory changes, or other new product information. Additionally, during these PS Reviews, there is a
focused risk assessment specifically designed to evaluate risks of Substances of Concern (SoC) used, present as intentionally added ingredients, and present as impurities in our products. In addition to assessing human health and
environmental risks related to the regulatory landscape, we also assess risks related to product deselection and consider potential safe and more sustainable alternatives for SoCs. Our global commitment to PS&R principles drives
timely and extensive reviews, with prompt and diligent follow-up to any findings. Training for all PS&R personnel globally and mandatory adherence to PS&R Management System standards ensures detailed stewardship assessments
of new products, markets, or applications prior to commercialization, modifications to products or processes prior to implementation, and periodic reviews of all product lines.
More than 1,100 PS Reviews were completed during calendar year 2024.
416-2 Incidents of non-compliance concerning the health and safety impacts of products and services
In 2024, we identified and resolved two non-compliance incidents associated with product health, safety, or transparency regulations. Both incidents were identified as part of proactive DuPont Product Stewardship Review actions.
These reviews uncovered the non-compliance status of two products associated with acquired businesses. No fines, penalties, or warnings were issued, and DuPont took immediate action to resolve the incidents of non-compliance.

Requirements for product marketing and labeling are described in DuPont’s Product Stewardship and Regulatory (PS&R) Management System. Those requirements are described in GRI 417-1 below.
DuPont’s PS&R Management System ensures compliance with global and local Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and labeling information requirements. SDS and label compliance management are critical components of product safety. 100%
of DuPont products that are not articles have an SDS that provides essential information on content, including chemical and physical characteristics and toxicology, as well as safe handling, use, and disposal information, including spill
and emergency response measures with appropriate contact numbers. We regularly review, update, and audit DuPont SDSs and product labels to confirm compliance with relevant global and local regulatory requirements.
100% of DuPont products are reviewed for SDS and label compliance, with SDSs generated in applicable languages for customer use. SDSs are updated and re-issued given any change to the product or related SDS information, as
well as any relevant regulatory change. Furthermore, all SDSs are reviewed at a set frequency to ensure up-to-date SDSs are in use.
