Firmenich S.A.

“We are interested in joining the RCI in order to collaborate on, support and continue to facilitate the transition away from a fossil-based feedstock to renewable carbon sources.”

By driving our 125th legacy as a responsible and inclusive business into this decade, we built our new Pathways to Positive strategic framework around three pillars: Acting on Climate Change, Embracing Nature, and Caring about People, and have set clear and visionary ESG 2030 ambitions to create value for our stakeholders today and for the generations to come. As part of the Group’s strategy, the Ingredients Division is taking its ESG leadership to the next level with the goal of becoming #1 in Renewable Ingredients. We are driving our transformation through four innovative platforms for product delivery. Two are dedicated to renewable carbon innovation, supported by the acquisition of DRT (Les Dérivés Résiniques et Terpéniques) in 2020.

Sylvergreen™: By 2030, the Ingredients Division commits to deliver 70% of Firmenich F&F Ingredients manufactured from renewable carbon sources.
Active Circle™: Renewable active ingredients beyond the F&F core for specialties including Health and Nutrition.

Through continuous innovation, we ensure we bring positive emotions and accelerate positive change, for the good of the planet, people and society. Creativity and innovation enable us to address some of the world’s greatest challenges.
