History of the Awards
This initiative began as the DuPont Safety Award in 2002 with the purpose of stimulating individual or collective initiatives for safety enhancement and accident prevention in the EMEA region and evolved into its current format – a global initiative dedicated to improving safety, reducing footprint and driving efficiency within industrial operations – in 2015. This change was made in recognition of the increasingly interconnected nature of innovative operational improvement programs. Over the years, the number and focus of categories were adjusted in order to reflect the latest thinking in safety, and later sustainability.
The DuPont Safety and Sustainability Awards are brought to you by DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS), who have acted as stewards of these prestigious awards since their inception. According to Davide Vassallo, CEO of DSS, “the DuPont Safety and Sustainability Awards are widely recognized by industrial companies as a benchmark for exceptional operational performance; for us, though, it is a means of galvanizing companies to pursue improvement projects, and celebrating the achievements of companies that have developed innovative approaches to protecting their people and improving their operations. Though DSS has evolved into an independent company, we remain committed to this mission. We are proud to host this initiative, now and in the future.”
