DuPont CEO Kullmann to Receive French Award

The American section of France's chemical industry association Société de Chimie Industrielle will award its 2015 International Palladium Medal to DuPont chair and CEO Ellen Kullman for her contributions to the chemical industry and the enhancement of the international aims and objectives of the Société de Chimie Industrielle.

She will receive the award at a dinner in her honor on May 7, 2015 in New York.

Prior to being named to the top position at DuPont, Kullman served as president, executive vice president and a member of the company's office of the chief executive.

The French industry association cites her focus on growth in emerging international markets and her efforts as CEO toward engineering strategic portfolio enhancements, including the acquisition of Danisco, the sale of the DuPont Performance Coatings business and the decision to separate the DuPont Performance Chemicals business.
