Organic chemistry has always been at the core of Firmenich’s science. Today, we apply green chemistry principles, which maximize efficiency and minimize hazardous effects on health and the environment, to the development and manufacturing processes of our ingredients.

Our chemists provide our flavorists and perfumers with unique ingredients that unleash their creativity and, at the same time, are safe and sustainable.  Thanks to our Green Gate approach, we  ensure that all the ingredients we bring to market are biodegradable and have a low environmental impact through non-bioaccumulation and non-toxicity, thereby protecting our planet.
