Regulatory News:
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE:IFF)
(Euronext Paris:IFF), a leading global creator of flavors,
fragrances and cosmetic actives for consumer products, announced
that its affiliate IFF-LMR Naturals received its fourth For Life
Social Responsibility designation issued by the certification body
IMOswiss AG (formerly Institute for Marketecology), this time in
cooperation with its vetiver partner in Haiti. The For Life
designation recognizes an organization’s adherence to specific
sustainability criteria, including transparency, environmental
responsibility, fair working conditions and positive relations with
producers and local communities. This recognition comes after the
certification of IFF-LMR Naturals for its rose supply chain in
Turkey and its patchouli and basil supply chains in Madagascar.
“Sustainability is foundational to IFF’s Vision 2020 business
strategy and a key focus area throughout our global operations,”
noted Andreas Fibig, IFF Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “It
has been an integral part of the ethos of the LMR organization
since the creation of the company more than 30 years ago. Vetiver
is an important ingredient for perfumers and can be found in many
of our fine fragrance and consumer fragrance creations. This new
recognition demonstrates our continued commitment to strengthening
sustainability across the supply chain for the benefit of our
customers and consumers. We will continue to develop this
third-party certification to further support sustainable
practices.”
Since its founding in Grasse, France in 1983, the stated mission
of LMR is to work with its partners around the world to research
and produce the highest possible quality natural, sustainable,
transparent, and pure ingredients to create essential oils,
concretes and absolutes for use in perfumery and flavors for food
and beverages.
