The “Transforming Our World” report details the company’s commitment to do more good for people and the planet, aligned with IFF’s purpose, “Applying science and creativity for a better world.” Centered around the recently launched Do More Good Plan, the report updates progress on legacy IFF targets, looks ahead to even more ambitious 2030 objectives and aims to address the world’s most pressing sustainable development challenges from IFF’s perspective.

A live webcast to discuss the company’s Do More Good Plan and goals, 2021 ESG+ results and 2022 outlook will be held on June 9, 2022 at 8:00 a.m. ET. It can be accessed on the company’s Investor Relations website at ir.iff.com.

Examples of 2021 performance highlights and achievements include:

  • Recognized for ESG leadership: named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for the second consecutive year, received the EcoVadis platinum sustainability rating and included in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index.
  • Enabled and accelerated the wider adoption of sustainable solutions in the marketplace across divisions, and promoted circular economy growth through IFF products verified as Upcycled Certified.
  • Continued commitment to climate action: named by CDP as a triple A list company for corporate transparency on climate change, water stewardship and deforestation.
  • Strengthened commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, honored by the Human Rights Campaign as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality for the third consecutive year and named among the Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion by Disability:IN for the second consecutive year.

Frank Clyburn, IFF CEO, said, “At IFF, we’re taking a holistic approach to creating a better world by leveraging our business, performance and partners. Since the launch of our first sustainability program in 2010, we’ve made tremendous progress. To continue driving results, we’re challenging our teams to be accountable, to collaborate across divisions, and to execute on our ESG+ strategy.”

Clyburn continued, “At today’s IFF, we’re taking another bold step, embedding a more comprehensive ESG structure in every part of our business, including the solutions we produce to help our customers reach their own ESG goals. Following the merger with DuPont’s Nutrition and Biosciences division, this report showcases our first year of results since launching our Do More Good Plan. We’re proud of the many ways we’re becoming a stronger, more resilient company, as we apply science and creativity for a better world.”
