Wilmington, North Carolina:
DuPont Liveo's use of Renewable Energy Credits (REC) resulted in a 69 percent carbon reduction in its Healthcare Industrial Materials Site (HIMS) versus a 2019 baseline.
The company announced that they spend money in Renewable Energy Credits (REC) to cover electricity consumption at the company's Site facility in Hemlock, Michigan.
While DuPont is promised to additional REC purchases every year, this is a significant step toward achieving supply chain decarbonization for its industry-leading DuPont Liveo Healthcare Solutions brand. DuPont will further partner with renewable energy suppliers, replace existing boiler systems with higher efficiency technology, boost existing and create new recycling programs, and work closely with suppliers to reduce the footprint of raw items.
"Making progress on supply chain decarbonization requires integrated planning and long-term pledge to forward progress – which we demonstrate through our steps toward reducing the carbon footprint of our operations," said Eugenio Toccalino, DuPont Liveo Healthcare Global Business Leader. "Not only are we looking at our footprint, but we also want to align with our customers that are at the forefront of sustainability to help them meet their targets."
To achieving its renewable energy goal and acting on climate stewardship as part of its 2030 Sustainability Goals, the initiatives made recently by the DuPont would help significantly.
