Friday 14. August 2009 - Yesterday, DuPont announced actions to support the companys commitments to customers, sustainable growth, and delivering revenue and earnings growth through market-driven science.
The company will sharply focus its innovation engines on four emerging trends to:

decrease dependence on fossil fuels
capitalize on the growth of emerging markets
“The actions we are taking today will give our organization the focus and responsiveness it needs to deliver sustainable customer solutions to the demands created by those trends,” said DuPont CEO Ellen Kullman.
In addition, DuPont will strengthen its alignment with customers and markets; drive disciplined scientific innovation directly from market needs; increase transparency and accountability for results with a simplified organization; and continue its intense focus on productivity.
“DuPont will meet the economic recovery as a stronger, faster and more agile global competitor. We will accomplish this by driving responsibility and accountability ever-closer to our customers and regions, providing greater transparency to our progress and results, streamlining our organization, and maintaining an intense focus on productivity,” said Ellen.
