General information



The solution to many of the most fundamental challenges facing the world today can be found in science. But providing for the food, energy and safety needs of a growing population will require more than science alone.
It will require many people working together to devise solutions that improve the lives of people everywhere. DuPont has a rich history of scientific discovery that has enabled countless innovations and today, we're looking for more people, in more places, to collaborate with us to make life the best that it can be.

Our company: Founded in 1802, DuPont is a market driven, dynamic science company delivering solutions and innovations that make real differences in people's lives around the world and help tackle the world's biggest challenges.

DuPont is operating in approximately 80 countries around the globe, and we have 50 000 employees. Our global headquarters are based in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A. and our European headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. In the Europe, Middle-East and Africa region, DuPont employs a diverse workforce of around 13 000 employees across our 150 sites located in 40 different countries.

Our mission: Sustainable Growth: Increasing shareholder and societal value while reducing our environmental footprint along the value chains in which we operate.

Our vision: To be the world's most dynamic science company, creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere.

Our core values: Throughout our company?s history our core values have remained constant. They represent the corner stone of who we are:

Together, we can decrease dependence on fossil fuels. By 2030, the world will consume 60% more energy than today. And while the demand for energy grows, the supply of fossil fuels will not. Deep expertise in microbiology, fermentation, polymer science and electrochemistry will help make possible the transition from fossil fuels to more sustainable alternatives.

Together, we can feed the world. The earth's population will increase by 150,000 people per day for the next 40 years, which means the world will need to increase food production by 70% in that same period - even as the relative number of acres that can be cultivated globally shrinks. To feed our increasing numbers, we will need to find ways to grow more food per acre.


Together, we can protect what matters most. As our population grows, so do the threats to human safety and well-being. Globally, over 1,000,000 people per year lose their lives to workplace injuries alone. DuPont is working with companies, governments, academics and scientists on a vast range of materials, products and consulting solutions that protect life and our environment.


At DuPont, we are dedicated to maximising our most valuable asset - our people. We do so by embracing diversity and offering opportunities for continuous development, whilst maintaining a good work/life balance.

DuPont is a diverse company that offers a magnitude of opportunities in its many business units, functions and locations. We are always looking for bright individuals from diverse cultural, national and educational backgrounds, willing to invest their talents and energy in collaborating with fellow employees and customers to tackle interesting challenges.
