Givaudan has published its 2012 Sustainability Report which shows, says the company, that it has made significant progress against its 2020 operational targets and that showcases further discoveries which will keep the business strong for the future.
“As the global leader in the fragrance and flavour industry, we understand how important it is that we meet the needs of our customers without compromising the future,” said Joe Fabbri, global head of human resources and chair of the Givaudan sustainability programme. “Our comprehensive Sustainability programme is integral to the way we operate – driving sustainability principles right across our value chain.”
“Stakeholder engagement is critical to this,” he added. “We work together with our stakeholders to establish shared priorities and develop practical solutions to common sustainability challenges. Addressing these together offers opportunities to build deeper and more robust relationships across our complex supply chain, which will result in long-term competitive advantages and value to our customers.”
“Our achievements in 2012 and the inspirational work by our grass roots Green Teams has shown us that our Sustainability programme is truly delivering continuous improvement across our business – and beyond.”
Containing details of sustainability progress in each of the five key stages of Givaudan’s product life-cycle, the Report was prepared using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Reporting Guidelines. It was externally assured by Ernst &Young and GRI has confirmed that Givaudan fulfils the requirements of Application Level B+.
