Acting for biodiversity in sourcing​

Embracing Nature starts in our natural supply chain and we have been introducing positive practices with our most trusted suppliers for many years.

We are proud of our portfolio of materials from over 430 plants and animal species.

Action towards deforestation free

At Firmenich, we work continuously to ensure that​ our supply chain protects valuable forest resources​ against the threat of deforestation.​

​

We currently focus on palm oil and palm oil derivatives, e.g. ensuring 99.5% of direct palm oil is RSPO certified. ​

 

We are also advancing our collaboration with our suppliers of terpenes derived from the paper industry, to ensure that these by-products are covered by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) feedstock certifications, which ensure the sustainable management of the forests.
