DuPont Code of Conduct

BUSINESS PARTNERS

Payments for Products and Services

We must ensure all payments for products and services are legal, ethical, and transparent. This means complying with accounting, tax, currency exchange, and anti-bribery regulations. Illegal or unethical payments are strictly prohibited

Guidelines for Payments

Payments must be: 

Reasonable in value and aligned with industry norms.

Competitively justified and properly documented.

Made to the correct business entity listed on the agreement or invoice.

Paid by check, bank transfer, or credit note—never in cash—to the appropriate location or account.

Free from falsification or misrepresentation in documents such as invoices or letters of credit.

Charged to the correct entity or account, providing full transparency.

Aligned with written trade terms, such as commissions, rebates, or discounts.

Exceptions should be rare. If you are unsure about a payment’s legality, or you need to request an exception, seek guidance from Legal and the Controller. 

Accountability

Everyone approving payments for DuPont is responsible for understanding the full transaction to ensure it complies with company policies.

Never make or receive payments that could appear to violate laws or regulations
