Diversity & Inclusion

 
 
 

At DuPont, we understand that we can only truly fulfill our purpose with the full commitment, participation, creativity, energy, and cooperative spirit of a diverse workforce. 

Diversity and inclusion are central to our high-performing culture. Right now, from senior executives to early careers, we’re working to improve representation. We’re measuring our progress to see what’s working and what could be better. And we’re building practices and support systems like our Employee Resource Groups to address the needs of different people and help us all have the skills to foster inclusion.

 
 
 

“DuPont is driven by innovation. And innovation is created through ideas. The more perspectives you have around the table, the more ideas you generate.”
