Making Progress Together – Givaudan Sustainability Report 2011

Givaudan, a leading player in the fragrance and flavour industry, has published its 2011 Sustainability Report.  This has been externally assured by Ernst & Young and confirmed by GRI as meeting the requirements of Level B+, as checked against the GRI 3.10 Content Index.

Entitled ‘Making Progress Together’, the Report sets out the progress Givaudan has made towards its 2020 operational targets and wider sustainability commitments.

Givaudan has made significant advancement against its operational targets, with improvements in water efficiency (13.8%) energy efficiency (7.8%) and CO₂ emissions (12.8%) per tonne of production, against a 2009 baseline.

Gilles Andrier, CEO of Givaudan said: “Sustainability within Givaudan is evolving to become an integral part of who we are. We have moved away from the idea of Sustainability being ‘a project’ to something that is being embedded within our organisation. Compacting fragrances, for example, or helping food manufacturers create great tasting products with less salt, sugar and fat, is now becoming intrinsic to how we do business.”

The Report also contains updates and case studies on the sustainability progress made in each of the five key stages of Givaudan’s product life-cycle and outlines plans for future improvement.
