Letter from our Executive Chairman and CEO

To our stakeholders,

I'm proud to share our 2024 Sustainability Report that details progress we have made toward achieving our 2030 Sustainability Goals and highlights the hard work by our DuPont team to meet our commitments across all aspects of Environmental, Social, and

Governance (ESG). At DuPont, sustainability is integral to our strategy, embedded in every aspect of

our business-from our innovation pipeline, to our manufacturing and supply chains, to how we engage with our people and communities.

As a global innovation leader and multi-industrial company, we're developing new products and solutions in exciting growth areas. Importantly, we're focused on meeting customers' needs for both innovation and sustainability, including products for cleaner water, energy-efficient buildings, electric vehicles, and advanced computing. Today, more than 80% of our innovation portfolio is expected to advance sustainability with solutions that address important global challenges. Reflecting these efforts, DuPont was named Best ESG Partner by Samsung Electronics.

DuPont delivered another year of strong performance on our bold climate goals, which are aligned with the ambition of the Paris Agreement to limit global warning to 1.5° C and have been validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). We achieved a 58% reduction of Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from the 2019 baseline-exceeding our 2030 goal of 50% ahead of schedule, and we exceeded our 2030 Scope 3 emissions reduction goal of 25% from the 2020 baseline. In addition, we

met our 2030 goal of sourcing 60% of electricity from renewable energy, through the purchase of additional Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). Our 2023 results underscore our commitment to partnering across our value chains to meet the climate challenge.

This past year, we made strong progress in the continued deployment of our enterprise-wide Operational Excellence framework designed to drive continuous improvement and unlock growth and productivity. In 2023, our manufacturing sites advanced deployment plans focused on creating value through standardized tools, best-in-class technologies, and robust practices that stabilize workflows, reduce errors, and minimize waste. This relentless focus on continuous improvement resulted in our safest year on record for employees and contractors.

Our strong governance practices underpin our sustainability strategy. DuPont remains committed to transparently reporting on our sustainability policies and performance through oversight from our Board of Directors. A key focus in 2023 was strengthening the DuPont Supplier Code of Conduct with our new responsible supplier program called "Together for the Planet".

The commitment of our global team to our core values, customers, and communities is essential to our sustainability journey. Through multiple workplace initiatives, we are delivering opportunity, experience, and purpose for our employees across the globe. This is reflected in both internal survey performance and external recognition. Our IMPACT Survey indicates our employees are highly engaged with purposeful work in an inclusive environment. In 2023, DuPont achieved Great Place to Work® certification and was named to Forbes list of Best Employers for Diversity and Bloomberg's Gender-Equality Index, among others.

While our sustainability journey doesn't have an end, we're pleased to share our progress and celebrate our milestones. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our achievements and for your continued interest in DuPont.

Sincerely,

Ed Breen

Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Q&A with Alexa Dembek, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer

1. How critical is the intersection between innovation and sustainability for achieving our 2030 Sustainability Goals?

1. Driving innovation and delivering sustainable solutions do not operate on parallel paths; it's at their intersection where we strengthen and grow our impact on society and solve for some of the biggest societal challenges. As CTSO, I have a unique role in guiding our innovation and stewarding sustainability that plays out in how we advance circularity, decarbonize, and solve for our customers and partners.

The exciting part of the intersection is the results and impact we create in the markets we serve-we're developing new technologies and products to make water cleaner, enable advanced computing, make buildings and homes more energy efficient, frontline workers safer, and healthcare solutions more advanced. It's also in the remarkable progress we've achieved in meeting our climate action goals well ahead of schedule.

In many ways, the intersection serves as the gateway to endless possibilities, presenting opportunities for growth, innovation, meaningful exchanges with stakeholders, and bringing about positive change for society.

Q: How has DuPont's transformation supported its sustainability strategy?

1. Over the past several years, we've reshaped and transformed our business portfolio, positioning the company as a premier multi-industrial. As we've completed the transformation, we're focused on addressing and capturing high-value opportunities in five strategic growth areas: Electronics, Water, Protection, Industrial technologies, and Next generation automotive. These growth areas are driven
   by technology, require innovation, and have sustainability as a foundation.

Q: What does it mean to achieve shared value with your customers?

1. Our approach to delivering solutions for global challenges is grounded in a disciplined customer engagement process that enhances collaboration with strategic customers and global end users. Through this process we align and strengthen our targeted innovation investment choices. We become their partner of choice by enabling them to achieve their own sustainability targets and goals.

In 2023, we improved the discipline of our strategic customer engagement and insight generation by expanding our structured engagement program to 120 strategic customers across our global businesses. We also implemented a process to manage requests from customers for sustainability information that improves our responsiveness and enables us to incorporate the requests as input to understanding of customer sustainability priorities.

By embedding customer insight in our research and development process, we believe we can increase the commercialization success of innovation programs and foster stronger growth and relationships with our customers.

Q: How is DuPont aligning its business strategy with its sustainability strategy?

1. The number one way that we can lead sustainably is through innovation that addresses global challenges. It goes back to our purpose-creating the innovations that help people thrive. Throughout my career, I have increasingly viewed sustainability as an opportunity for value creation; not a risk to be managed. More than ever, we are putting sustainability at the core of our overall strategy, and the powerful combination of innovation, sustainability, and digital means more value for our customers, employees, shareholders, and communities.

"I view sustainability as an opportunity for value creation; not a risk to be managed. More than ever, we're putting sustainability at the core of our overall strategy, and the powerful combination of innovation, sustainability, and digital means more value for our customers, employees, shareholders, and communities."

Q: What are you most proud of from the sustainability work achieved this past year?

1. I'm so proud of the progress on our goals, but this report is really about the dedicated teams across DuPont that put their energy, passion, and pursuit on display every day to support our customers and support each other. I'm fortunate to lead some of these teams and see firsthand how they are fostering an inclusive culture and are living our core values and embedding them in every decision we make, every action we take. It's in their stories that this report comes to life.

Q: What do you see as the next steps in DuPont's sustainability journey?

1. We have done the hard work of reshaping and sharpening our portfolio in alignment with our five strategic growth areas. The next step in our journey is aligning our investment choices on technologies where sustainable innovation is needed to meet important societal and sustainable development challenges-and where we can best leverage synergies across our global businesses.

What's the next challenge? We're witnessing an astounding rate of change in the world; we need to capture and harness opportunities with greater speed and urgency. That means better understanding the market, anticipating customer needs, and delivering timely solutions, all of which are critical to keeping DuPont in front of the innovation curve.
