DuPont Emissions Trading and Offsets

DuPont has been active in working with others to pilot emissions trading systems and has concluded a number of trades through the use of bi-lateral agreements and on the emerging carbon exchanges.  DuPont is a member of the Chicago Climate Exchange and the International Emissions Trading Association.  In the winter of 2002, DuPont donated 120,000 tons of CO2-equivalent emissions credits to the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee. This allowed the Winter Olympics to offset their emissions and be declared "climate neutral."
