The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions through frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, while DuPont has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments to align with industry standards and global climate goals.
