Green products are here to stay - DuPont V-P

ERJ staff report (DS)

Wilmington Delaware -- "There is broad market demand for products with an enhanced environmental profile and that demand is coming from customers,” said DuPont Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Linda Fisher, speaking at the New York Stock Exchange and Yale Green Summit 2010: Celebrating Earth Day at 40.

Fisher continued, “This trend is here to stay and offers significant growth opportunities for companies which can deliver sustainable solutions." She was reporting on a survey of more than 800 DuPont customers around the world across a range of industries spanning food and agriculture, transportation, chemicals and manufacturing, plastics and packaging and electronics to better understand the durability of demand for sustainable products. More than 95 percent of those surveyed reported that customer demand is a key driver for developing products with an enhanced environmental profile.

DuPont maintains a Market Advisory Panel with more than 2,000 global customers in a wide variety of industries.  An online survey was conducted April 14 to April 20, 2010, among the Market Advisory Panel using the MarketTools zTelligence platform.  Results were analysed internally and are owned by DuPont.
