Addressing climate change may be the single greatest opportunity to reinvent industry while putting the United States on a more sustainable path forward, DuPont Chairman Chad Holliday told the U.S. House of Representatives’ Energy and Commerce Committee yesterday -- which was Earth Day -- in Washington, D.C. 

“We need sound policy that takes broad, coordinated, economically sustainable actions across the entire economy,” Chad said.  “We need clear, strong and workable emission reduction goals that will show us the pathway to a low-carbon economy.  And we need a cap-and-trade program that focuses our efforts on the emission reduction opportunities that offer the most environmental benefits for the lowest costs.” 

Chad spoke on behalf of the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP), a group of companies and non-governmental organizations, which have come together to forge a consensus view regarding the United States’ actions on the challenging issue of climate change.  DuPont and other USCAP members believe there is sufficient scientific evidence on climate change to warrant prudent action.
