Sustainability

As a leading global creator of flavors and fragrances for consumer products, Sustainability has long been part of the essence of how we do business at IFF. We have a history rich in innovation, customer focus and a sense of responsibility.  We believe that the efforts we put forth today in executing our sustainability strategy will have a positive impact worldwide.

 

IFF’s commitment to sustainability has direct implications, not only for the environment and communities, but also for our financial competitiveness and success.  Last year, we launched an initiative to enhance, accelerate, and formalize our existing sustainability efforts, as well as to renew our promise to embrace opportunities and face challenges. This strategy consists of four pillars:

 

• Creating innovative customer solutions
• Engaging and inspiring our employees
• Sourcing responsibly
• Strengthening our eco-efficiency and community relationships

 

Our inaugural sustainability report – Sustainability: The Essence of IFF - outlines our strategy and our committment to providing creative solutions to key sustainability challenges. 

 

“We depend on nature’s precious resources for inspiration and product sourcing. Our longstanding commitment to sustainable business practices is the essence of who we are at IFF. Going forward, we will accelerate that commitment for the benefit of all our current stakeholders and future generations.”
— Nicolas Mirzayantz – Group President, Fragrances
