DuPont Takes Actions to Capitalize on Global Growth Opportunities     

DuPont announces actions supporting the company's commitments to customers, sustainable growth, and delivering revenue and earnings growth through market-driven science.
   The company will sharply focus its innovation engines on four emerging trends to meet the increasing demand for food; protect people and the environment; decrease dependence on fossil fuels; and capitalize on the growth of emerging markets. In addition, DuPont will strengthen its alignment with customers and markets; drive disciplined scientific innovation directly from market needs; increase transparency and accountability for results with a simplified organization; and continue its intense focus on productivity. In support of the renewed focus, the company also announced several leadership appointments.
   DuPont consolidates its 23 businesses into 14 - Pioneer Hi-Bred, Crop Protection, Nutrition & Health, Electronics & Communications, Performance Coatings, Performance Polymers, Packaging & Industrial Polymers, Protection Technologies, Building Innovations, Safety Resources, Chemical Solutions, Fluoroproducts, Titanium Technologies and Applied BioSciences.
