We believe in the importance of sound science. Science and technology have been the heart of DuPont's culture throughout this century, and have worked to the benefit of the public as well as the company. Science is not the only basis for making a decision. But we believe that the facts are crucial, and we rarely make a decision absent a complete scientific understanding. Finally, we believe in sustainable development.
Sustainable development is a revolutionary concept that is being implemented in an evolutionary way.
We are still at the low end of the learning curve. But we're confident that working with groups in other sectors and in the communities where we operate we can develop ways to achieve sustainable development. But we are sincere. We are open to new viewpoints. And we're making progress.
