    2001 ANNUAL REPORT DuPont at 200 In 2002, DuPont celebrates its 200th anniversary. The company that began as a small, family firm on the banks of Delaware’s Brandywine River is today a global enterprise operating in 70 countries around the world. From a manufacturer of one main product – black powder for guns and blasting – DuPont grew through a remarkable series of scientific leaps into a supplier of some of the world’s most advanced materials, services and technologies. Much of what we take for granted in the look, feel, and utility of modern life was brought to the marketplace as a result of DuPont discoveries, the genius of DuPont scientists and engineers, and the hard work of DuPont employees in plants and offices, year in and year out. Along the way, there have been some exceptional constants. The company’s core values of safety, health and the environment, ethics, and respect for people have evolved to meet the challenges and opportunities of each era, but as they are lived today they would be easily recognizable to our founder. The central role of science as the means for gaining competitive advantage and creating value for customers and shareholders has been consistent. It would be familiar to any employee plucked at random from any decade of the company’s existence. Yet nothing has contributed more to the success of DuPont than its ability to transform itself in order to grow. Whether moving into high explosives in the latter 19th century, into chemicals and polymers in the 20th century, or into biotechnology and other integrated sciences today, DuPont has always embraced change as a means to grow.

BOX 3630 • WILMINGTON, DELAWARE 19807-0630 WWW.HAGLEY.ORG • (302) 658-2400 PRESIDENT’S REPORT As I take over as Board President of Hagley Museum and Library from my uncle, Edward B. duPont, it is appropriate to reflect on the indelible mark he has made on this institution. He joined the Hagley Board in December of 1976 and served as the President of the Board of Trustees from 1983 to 2009. During his tenure, Edward worked to ensure a stable financial base for Hagley through sound leadership and a keen understanding of the institution. His quiet philanthropy is a testament to his deep regard for Hagley, proudly carried on from generation to generation. I am pleased to note that Uncle Edward is still an active member of the Board and has been named President Emeritus in recognition of his service. There are many accomplishments from 2009 to celebrate, and there are several I would like to highlight here. The library is a world-class, internationally regarded research library Henry B. duPont IV on the history of American business and technology. The library continues President to grow; during the past year, for example, we embarked on expanding our digital archives and online exhibitions. Introduced in late 2008, the digital archives, along with the library pages, saw more than 650,000 visits this past year. Also online are a number of exhibits from the library collections including “Wawa, Inc.: The 45th Anniversary Exhibit” and “William G. McGowan’s MCI, 1968 to 1991.” People from all over the world consulted with our extraordinary collections directly from their desktops.
