Russia – Ukraine: Our Position Statement & Humanitarian Efforts
We strongly condemn Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. IFF unequivocally stands with the Ukrainian people and is committed to supporting those most affected by this war.

Amid this humanitarian tragedy and aligned with our values IFF will limit the production and supply of ingredients in and to Russia to only those that meet the essential needs of people including food hygiene and medicine. In tandem IFF is suspending all production and supply of ingredients for products not critical to basic necessities. We believe it is our responsibility to do our part so people around the world including those in Russia have access to the critical ingredients and products they need to live. We feel strongly that this is our humanitarian duty. IFF will continue these supplies to the best of our ability in accordance with sanctions logistics availability and other key factors.

Our ability to meet the most basic and essential needs of people in Ukraine Russia and across the region is one of the most meaningful ways that IFF can advance our commitment to doing better for our people and communities in the markets we serve. We are also making a combined donation of US$350000 to World Central Kitchen and Save the Children to help provide food and medical assistance to Ukrainian refugees. Finally we are working closely with our customers to donate ingredients for food distribution to Ukrainians.

We join the millions of people around the world demanding a quick and diplomatic end to this war.
