USTAINABILITY IS A BROAD TERM that translates to different things for differ- ent people. To a farmer, it may mean effective crop protection products that pave the way for the farm to remain productive for generations to come. To an
environmentalist, it may mean conserving land and waterways to keep wildlife and people healthy and safe. To the average citizen, it may mean recycling, energy con- servation and a low carbon footprint. To DuPont Crop Protection, it encompasses all of these things. Everything that
DuPont does, from its internal operations, product development and packaging, employee and customer training, to recycling or reusing containers, sustainability is always top of mind. “Sustainability also means working with our global partners in the food value
chain to develop methods that are more sustainable to farmland,” says Mike Rupert, sustainability manager for DuPont Crop Protection. “It means working with our em- ployees and customers to make sure they have strong stewardship values and are committed to sustainability.”
