Within the HPC business the main products are enzymes and DEB (designed enzymatic biomaterials) \u2013 technologies that are both inherently bio-based and biodegradable with significant performance improvements. So being able to highlight the sustainability credentials of our products to customers was just naturally part of our business value proposition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Before HPC I led commercial development and marketing for H&amp;B\u2019s biomaterials business (part of DuPont at that time). There I was involved primarily with the global marketing of bio-based fibers for apparel brands and bio-based products for personal care companies. I also spent time leading a joint venture that we had with a Chilean salmon aquaculture company where we partnered to feed raise market and sell sustainably-raised farmed salmon!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>\u201cSustainability is just who I am my makeup my background my passion. I remember the point earlier in my career when I realized that I could do this every day and make a positive difference in the world \u2013 it was a lightbulb moment for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8211; Renee Henze<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: IFF has signaled the importance of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ir.iff.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/iff-announces-long-term-strategic-financial-vision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sustainability as a strategic imperative<\/a>. What does \u201cembedding ESG+ in all we do\u201d mean to you and what are the most critical ways IFF is doing this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Henze: To me embedding ESG+ in all that we do means that eventually (but not too soon! [laughs]) my role will become obsolete as sustainability considerations become naturally integrated into each business. In the meantime we are building sustainability into every process and program within the organization and related sustainability metrics will increasingly be key indicators of the Company\u2019s \u201chealth\u201d performance and success \u2013 much like we already have for financials. It also means that IFF\u2019s brand position messaging and thought leadership seamlessly weave sustainability and our sustainable innovations together as one and the same.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re already seeing this journey at work within IFF. Across the company we\u2019re engaged in meaningful activities in energy reduction and capital-led improvement programs at our manufacturing sites responsible sourcing and certifications programs for our ingredients\/feedstocks our proprietary Innovation for Sustainability (I4S) model for portfolio assessment life-cycle-assessments ensuring that all new products have a sustainability value proposition and active engagement with our customers to help them achieve their sustainability goals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>\u201cI truly believe that sustainability is part of our IFF identity brand and who we are. I\u2019d like \u2018sustainability at IFF\u2019 and our product offerings to be synonymous. And we are getting there with our Do More Good Plan goal for every new innovation to have a sustainability value proposition by 2030.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8211; Renee Henze<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Q: A hallmark of IFF\u2019s corporate strategy is to Be the Premier Partner for customers who are also among the top stakeholder groups creating pressure on companies to invest in sustainability initiatives. How do you see IFF leveraging the\u00a0<a href=\"\/sustainability\/report-library\/\">Do More Good (DMG)<\/a> Plan\u00a0to help execute this focus area?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Henze: Simply put we have the unique opportunity to leverage our DMG Plan to delight our customers and to create a substantial competitive advantage for IFF.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This means being able to proactively provide our customers\u2019 Scope 3 and other sustainability-related data; provide them with the sustainability information and analyses that lead them to choose our products preferentially; and develop the innovations that solve their sustainability and performance challenges while helping them achieve their own ESG-related goals. It also means we can partner with our customers to be thought leaders and sustainability stewards to help differentiate themselves in the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>&#8220;At IFF we believe that our competitive advantage is what we do around the support of our customers and the innovations that we create that help them propel sustainability.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8211; Renee Henze<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: You have already mentioned the importance of innovation. Why do you think this is so fundamental and what does it mean for the future of sustainability at IFF?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Henze: As a company we continue to make significant investments in our R&amp;D program to expand our biotech capabilities commercialize existing pipelines launch new and exciting customer collaborations and fuel other transformational projects that will accelerate digitalization and analytics.<\/p>\n<p>These opportunities \u2013 coupled with our commitment to ensure that all innovations moving forward have a sustainability value proposition \u2013 mean that we have the potential to exponentially multiply the positive impacts we can have on society and the environment. In short sustainability and innovation are for us intrinsically linked to our future success.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The emphasis we place on the power of R&amp;D communicates that sustainable innovations are the core underpinning of what we do our competitive advantage and the way we\u2019re going to grow our company.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8211; Renee Henze<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What does sustainability mean to you in your life and interests outside of work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Henze: The things that I love to do outside of work are all rooted in the natural world\u2013hiking skiing kayaking and running. I have been very fortunate in my personal and professional life to have had the opportunity to go to some unique places and experience these things.<\/p>\n<p>With this also comes the opportunity to see the world through a different lens particularly in more remote parts where you notice both the good and bad \u2013 the pristine and irreplaceable beauty on one hand versus the impacts that things like climate change and social injustice are having on marginalized communities. It compels me to do what I can to pass on a more equitable and sustainable world for my child and the next generations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18611\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Reene-expolringv3-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"Reene Exploring\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Reene-expolringv3-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Reene-expolringv3-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Reene-expolringv3-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Reene-expolringv3-1024x683-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Reene-expolringv3-1024x683-1-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Renee exploring Patagonia in the southernmost tip of South America amidst the only glacier in the world that is not shrinking.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sustainability is also an essential element of the marketing and public relations courses I teach as an Adjunct Professor at New York University.
