Using a 2019 baseline, DuPont™ Liveo™ products at the
facility will be made with electricity backed by renewable
energy credits
WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 19,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont™ Liveo™ today announced
that its investment in Renewable Energy Credits (REC) to cover
electricity consumption at the company's Healthcare Industrial
Materials Site (HIMS) facility in Hemlock, Michigan, has resulted in a 69
percent reduction in the site's operational emissions versus a 2019
baseline.
While DuPont is committed to additional REC purchases annually,
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, expand existing and
create new recycling programs, and work closely with suppliers to
reduce the footprint of raw materials. These actions underscore the
company's commitment to achieving its renewable energy goal and
acting on climate stewardship as part of its 2030 Sustainability
Goals.
"Making progress on supply chain decarbonization requires
integrated planning and long-term commitment 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 goals."
