Who can buy
Buy Execution Authority is needed for anyone to procure materials or services on behalf of DuPont. This authority is granted to personnel in buying roles and on buying teams. Only someone with the proper Buy Execution Authority can establish an agreement that commits DuPont funds to be paid to a supplier. Someone without Buy Execution Authority cannot "buy" on behalf of DuPont.
