We have expanded the list of climate policies we assess company engagement with to incorporate land-use related policy, referring to legislative or regulatory measures to enhance and protect ecosystems and land where carbon is being stored. Assessments under this category are currently underweighted in terms of their contribution to the overall company metrics. This weighting will be progressively increased over the next 6 months.
We adjusted the terminology used to describe the queries running down the left-hand side of our scoring matrix and added additional explanatory text to the info-boxes. This has no impact on the scores and methodology. It has been done following user feedback to improve clarity.

In this section, we depict graphically the relationships the corporation has with trade associations, federations, advocacy groups and other third parties who may be acting on their behalf to influence climate change policy. Each of the columns above represents one relationship the corporation appears to have with such a third party. In these columns, the top, dark section represents the strength of the relationship the corporation has with the influencer. For example if a corporation's senior executive also held a key role in the trade association, we would deem this to be a strong relationship and it would be on the far left of the chart above, with the weaker ones to the right. Click on these grey shaded upper sections for details of these relationships. The middle section contains a link to the organization score details of the influencer concerned, so you can see the details of its climate change policy influence. Click on the middle sections for for details of the trade associations. The lower section contains the organization score of that influencer, the lower the more negatively it is influencing climate policy.

Climate Lobbying Overview: DuPont De Nemours, Inc. (DuPont) appears to be highly active and broadly positive in its engagement on climate change policy. DuPont is particularly active in coalition letters calling for government regulation on climate change. However, it remains a member of several trade associations actively lobbying against climate policies.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: DuPont has positive top-line messaging on climate policy. The company signed a joint letter in October 2021 supporting a global net-zero emissions target by 2050 at COP26. DuPont states on its corporate website, accessed in December 2022, that it supports market-based policies to achieve climate goals, and in its 2021 CDP Disclosure, it stated support for a price on carbon. In a July 2021 Center for Climate & Energy Solutions Joint Letter to Congress, DuPont called for “ambitious, durable climate policy” in the form of an infrastructure package, but did not specifically endorse the Build Back Better Act. On its website, DuPont states support for the UN Paris Agreement and in a January 2021 tweet, the company commended the Biden Administration for rejoining the agreement.
Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: DuPont is somewhat transparent in its climate policy positions on its website, accessed December 2022, where it lists the criteria for policies it will support. The company's Climate Change Statement on its website does not offer clear support for GHG emissions regulation, instead recommending “the largest GHG reduction opportunities first." National Public Radio reported that in September 2021, DuPont was a part of a coalition supporting the phaseout of hydrofluorocarbons in the US. In the company’s 2021 CDP Disclosure, DuPont stated support for a carbon tax, energy efficiency measures, and the Renewable Fuel Standard and clean energy tax credits. DuPont also stated support for renewable energy incentives and wind energy generation in an October 2021 Global Wind Energy Council joint letter.
Engagement with Land-Use Related Regulations: DuPont has limited engagement with land-use related regulations. In its Statement on Climate Change, DuPont stated support for biofuels without acknowledging potential trade-offs. However, on the company’s UK website, DuPont stated support for transitioning diets away from beef.
Positioning on Energy Transition: DuPont has mostly positive, though less active engagement on policy to transition the energy mix. In its Q3 20222 Federal Lobbying Disclosure, DuPont stated engagement on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), but did not disclose a position. Similarly, the Washington Post reported in July 2022 that DuPont had directly engaged on the IRA without detailing if it supported or opposed the bill. The company actively supported electrification, the phase out of coal, the repeal of fossil fuel subsidies, and the decarbonization of transportation in a joint Global Wind Energy Manifesto for COP26 in October 2021. DuPont also advocated to policymakers to support infrastructure to achieve net-zero in a July 2021 Center for Climate & Energy Solutions joint letter.
Industry Association Governance: DuPont holds membership in a number of trade associations actively opposed to climate change policy. The company discloses its memberships on its corporate website with no details on the groups' climate policy positions or its attempts to influence those positions. DuPont holds Board-level membership in the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and company CEO Edward D. Breen is a member of the Business Roundtable, which both engage on climate policy with mixed positions. A senior DuPont executive is a member of the American Chemistry Council Board of Directors. ACC holds predominantly negative positions on climate policy. The company is also a member of the US Chamber of Commerce Climate Change Task Force and is an associate member of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, associations that are highly obstructive of climate policy. As of December 2022, DuPont has not published an industry association review.
