Symrise consistently reduces greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain and belongs to the leading companies worldwide. After the company had already achieved a best-in-class triple A rating within the three categories of the renowned nonprofit organization CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) water, forest and climate, the Supplier Engagement Rating (SER) now also recognizes the special commitment of the company. The environmentally friendly procurement of resources plays an important role for the company. Therefore, Symrise has, among other things, rated all key suppliers according to sustainability criteria and ensured the traceability of all strategic raw materials. Thanks to measures like these, the Holzminden-based Group made it onto CDP’s Supplier Engagement Leaderboard for the first time, meaning that it belongs to the best of the 9,600 companies that participated in the survey in 2020.

When assessing the sustainability of companies, both the greenhouse gas emissions they generate directly and those of their suppliers play a role. According to CDP, the supply chain actually emits around 11.4 times more on average than the company itself. For this reason, the non-profit organization assesses every year both the climate protection, water usage and forest conservation of companies as well as how effectively the companies engage their suppliers in addressing climate change. Symrise made it to the top seven percent with this rating, earning a spot on the Supplier Engagement Leaderboard.
