Approach to stakeholder engagement

A number of internal and external formats and channels enable Symrise to maintain a lively dialogue with its stakeholders. We receive important input on possible improvements via a continual dialogue with our employees, e.g., through regular feedback. Our strengths and weaknesses are evaluated as part of regular employee engagement surveys.

We conducted the last employee engagement survey during the previous fiscal year.

With the help of the SEDEX platform, we have also maintained close contact with numerous raw material suppliers on ethics, environment, safety and health topics since 2011. We keep our customers and investors up to date on developments within our company with road shows and innovation days.

We not only maintain a regular exchange of information with nongovernmental organizations but have also entered into strategic partnerships (GIZ, Rainforest, Alliance, UEBT) on specific topics, such as biodiversity, in order to generate sustainable value for society and the environment. The expectations our stakeholders have shared with us via these interactions inspire us and form the basis for our work.
