As with many aspects related to our strategy, it is important for Firmenich to collaborate with credible partners. We are partnering with UEBT and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH via their BioInnovation Africa project. We also put our expertise to work, as Vice-Chair of the Nagoya Protocol task force of IFRA and IOFI, to continue strengthening Flavor & Fragrance guidance.  

Biodiversity metrics

 

To engage our operations into our ESG ambition, manufacturing sites located in risk areas for biodiversity and/or water scarcity are asked to include biodiversity regeneration activities in their local projects. Specific projects should comply with the appropriate Biodiversity Action Plan methodology and agreed monitoring indicators. ​

This year, 15% of our sites joined the initiative.
