Named to both the 2020 World Index and the North America Index, this distinction underscores the company’s commitment to executing on key environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities.
The SAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) is used as the basis for evaluating and selecting companies for inclusion in the DJSI. IFF’s total CSA score places the company among the top 10% of sustainability performers in the world, as assessed from among the 2,500 largest companies in the S&P Global Brand Market Index.
Similarly, IFF ranks among the top 20% of the 600 largest companies in the S&P Global Brand Market Index in North America.
