Our business model uses this comprehensive approach to combine economic success with sustainable governance and social acceptance.

In a dialogue with stakeholders and rating agencies
Symrise receives a great deal of external recognition for its commitment to sustainability. For instance, we have already been presented with the German Sustainability Award twice; in addition, the German Association for Sustainability named us one of the “Sustainability Heroes” of 2020, and we were one of only 10 companies worldwide to reach Triple A status with CDP in 2020, with a first-class rating in the climate, water and forests categories. We’re proud of this, and it encourages us to intensify our sustainability activities. However, the challenges continue unabated. They include the increasingly negative results of climate change – with its pressure on nature and biodiversity and the responsible use of resources – as well as the serious effects of the global spread of the novel coronavirus. Symrise seeks a dialogue with all relevant stakeholder groups in order to discuss current developments and to meet the needs of various stakeholders regarding sustainable governance. Examples of this are the various WBCSD committees, global representative bodies IFRA and IOFI, and initiatives such as OP2B and the Development and Climate Alliance.
We exchange sustainability information particularly closely with the company’s shareholders, investors, voting proxies and rating agencies. Rating agencies MSCI, Sustainalytics and ISS ESG provide especially high-quality and efficient communication of our ESG performance to investors. Moreover, our sustainability performance is regularly evaluated by internationally recognized institutions such as CDP, EcoVadis and SEDEX. Customers as well as investors are interested in the continued development of our sustainability reporting, which will increase the transparency of our business processes and allow for better assessment of the opportunities and risks inherent to our business activities.
