DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable
solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for
people everywhere. Operating in more approximately 80
countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products
and services for markets including agriculture, nutrition,
electronics, communications, safety and protection, home and
construction, transportation and apparel.
In 1802, DuPont was primarily an explosives company. One
hundred years ago, our focus turned to chemicals, materials
and energy. Today, we deliver science-based solutions that
make real differences in people's lives around the world in
areas such as food and nutrition, health care, apparel,
safety and security, construction, electronics and
transportation. Look closely at the things around your home
and workplace, and chances are, you'll find dozens of items
made with DuPont materials.
Our ability to adapt to change and our foundation of
unending scientific inquiry has enabled DuPont to become one
of the world's most innovative companies. But, in the face
of constant change, innovation and discovery, our core
values have remained constant: commitment to safety and
health; environmental stewardship; high ethical behavior;
and respect for people.
What has this commitment allowed us to accomplish? Take a
look:
2009 revenues: $26.1 billion
Employees: 58,000 worldwide
Global: Operating in approximately 80 countries worldwide
R&D: More than 75 research and development and customer
service labs in 12 countries around the world.
