Givaudan Demonstrates Significant Progress Against Sustainability Targets and KPIs

Joe Fabbri, Global Head of Human Resources and Chair of the Givaudan Sustainability programme, says: “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. 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 adds. “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.”
