Government Relations

At DuPont, working with government organizations, officials, and state-owned enterprises requires special care. Every government has its own rules for business. We must always act ethically and follow these rules. Whether we work with government officials in their capacity as customers or regulators, our actions must show DuPont’s commitment to integrity.

Key Areas of Focus

Interacting with Government Official

Follow all laws when working with government officials. Even small gifts or meals can be seen as bribes or kickbacks, no matter the intent. Always check with Legal before giving anything of value to government officials.

Government Contracts

Government contracts often have strict rules. These include keeping records of costs, protecting company information, and following rules about gifts and entertainment. Breaking these rules can lead to serious penalties. If you are unsure, ask Legal for help.

Be compliant with local laws.
Be paid directly to the provider, such as a hotel or restaurant.
