我们不断调整组织形式zational structure of our purchasing department to the changing conditions on the market. Procurement at Symrise is organized in a decentralized manner in the three segments Flavor, Nutrition and Scent & Care. This way we can manage purchasing processes in a more targeted manner and continually optimize the supply chain. An established scorecard system supports purchasers with relevant key figures. In keeping with our sustainable sourcing policy, we rely on close and continuous cooperation with our suppliers, on social and ecological commitment locally, and on strategic partnerships with our key customers.

National and international standards and legal requirements on the protection of humans and the environment comprise a core component of Symrise’s purchasing policy.
