Founded in 1802 as an explosives company, our original product was black powder
for guns and blasting. By the end of our first century, DuPont was a leading
manufacturer of high explosives and had begun to move into chemical products.
In the 20th century DuPont became a global chemicals, materials and energy
company and deepened its commitment to scientific research. The company
marketed auto paints, moisture-proof cellophane, neoprene synthetic rubber,
safety glass, movie and x-ray films, Teflon® fluoropolymers and synthetic fibers
evolving from its landmark discovery of nylon.
In our third century of continuous operation, DuPont is a global science
company committed to achieving sustainable growth through three strategic
pathways: integrated science, knowledge intensity and productivity through
Six Sigma. With the anticipated separation of our traditional fibers businesses
from the company in 2004, DuPont is demonstrating yet again in its history of
transformations that it is prepared to go where the growth is in terms of
research, markets, customers and global presence.
The company’s array of products today indeed make life better, safer and
healthier. Pioneer® corn varieties are resistant to herbicides and insects.

buildings. Apparel of DuPont™ Tyvek® protective material helps workers
perform their jobs safely and efficiently. DuPont™ SupraShield™ premium
clearcoat protects automobiles from scratches, mars and other damage.
With our classical strength in chemistry and engineering, and our world-class
capability in biology, DuPont is the company customers come to whenever
science is the solution.

15. The supply and environmental impact of fossil fuel consumption calls for new approaches to automotive engineering.
Architects and engineers strive to combine safety with aesthetics. Manufacturers look for durable, heat-and-oil-
resistant alternatives to metals. DuPont Performance Materials finds solutions. In 2003, DuPont provided materials
and knowledge to further the entry of hybrid electric vehicles into the marketplace. DuPont™ SentryGlas®
Expressions™ gave protective laminated glass a new level of design chic. And DuPont™ Zytel® HTN resins
offered strength and heat resistance for everything from stove knobs to automotive wheelcovers. All with the
high level of performance customers have come to expect from DuPont Performance Materials.

thousands of acres became prime natural areas and exceptional candidates for
preservation. In 1994, DuPont formally instituted the DuPont Land Legacy
Program to review these properties and recommend which should be protected.
Since its inception, DuPont Land Legacy has permanently protected nearly 34,000
acres of land. Some of the company’s most significant land donations include the
1,000-acre Willow Grove Lake site donated in 1994 to The Nature Conservancy of
New Jersey and 7,700 acres of forest near Brevard in western North Carolina
donated in 1996 to The Conservation Fund and now part of DuPont State Forest.
In 2003 DuPont donated nearly 16,000 acres of company-owned land adjacent
to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in the state of Georgia to The
Conservation Fund. DuPont acquired the land in 1991 and 1996 with the intent
to mine titanium ore safely and in an environmentally sound manner from the
site. In light of public concerns about the project, DuPont announced in 1997
that it would defer activities related to the proposed surface mining operation
and explore options for the property.
DuPont established a Collaborative
Process Core Group of local community
officials; local NGOs; landowners; mining,
tourism and wood fiber interests; elected
officials and Native Americans. The
donation represented a culmination of
that process and a cooperative effort
among DuPont, The Conservation Fund
and International Paper.
