Promoting Biodiversity conservation through the Nagoya Protocol

We have an important role to play in biodiversity conservation and restoration, especially in areas where we operate directly. This is where we can most easily identify risks and implement appropriate action for mitigation.

 

This is also where we have opportunities to go further, to restore ecosystems and enhance biodiversity.

Setting an enabling environment​

Ensure full ABS execution

 

Our R&D and Innovation teams are required to support the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol principles and follow the Firmenich ABS due diligence approach summarized below:

Step 1

Know the provider 

country

Step 2

Collect the necessary 

information

Step 3

Register the sample 

in Nagobase

Step 4

agreed at corporate level

We commit to secure the relevant ABS permits, when applicable. As of June 2022, we have obtained 25 permits.

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.

​

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