Sustainability
Driving Excellence through Sustainability
The global environmental crisis and increasing social inequality are mutually dependent and amplify each other, posing major challenges for companies. In order to address these changes in an appropriate manner, sustainability must be an elemental part of the corporate strategy.
New Partnerships and Initiatives
In 2023, we have embarked on new partnerships and initiatives that further our sustainability goals, including:
Renewable Carbon Initiative
Promoting the use of renewable carbon sources.
Low Carbon Transition Project
Facilitating the transition to low-carbon technologies.
ProSpecieRara
Supporting biodiversity and the preservation of rare species.
Sustainability
Sustainability has always been an integral part of our business model. We assume responsibility beyond the company itself, taking our customers, consumers, employees, society, and the environment all into account. For us, this means we consider environmental and social conditions whilst working toward efficient production, maintaining a portfolio that helps meet the basic needs of a growing world population.
Global Goals
In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 goals for a better world. These goals aim to reduce poverty, achieve social equity, protect the biosphere, and conserve natural resources. As a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, we actively support the principles of responsible business outlined therein.
Commitment
Two top ‘A’ grades in the categories of climate and water and a good ‘A –’ in the forest category: Symrise has earned a top position once again on the annual sustainability ratings issued by CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project). In 2023, the nonprofit organization evaluated a record number of 21,000 companies. By 2045, Symrise wants to be climate neutral across the entire group. This rating and others confirm that the commitment to sustainability at Symrise is also recognized externally.
Our Vision
With our innovative solutions, we are meeting needs in the areas of nutrition, health, and well-being… in doing so, we are always thinking about future generations: We assume social responsibility, create pioneering technologies, and focus on resource-friendly processes.
