Firmenich Recognized as Global Environmental Leader with CDP Triple "A" for Climate Change, Water and Forests for Second Year

/ -- Firmenich has been ranked by CDP today as a global environmental leader, the only company in its industry to have achieved triple "A" for climate change, water security and forests for the second consecutive year. Being one of only six companies worldwide with a triple "A" listing this year out of more than 8,400 assessed, the Group is recognized for its commitment to responsible business, supported by ambitious science-based targets.

"We are immensely proud to be amongst the very few companies who have achieved CDP triple "A" for the second year in a row," said Gilbert Ghostine, CEO, Firmenich. "Ever since we made our first public environmental commitment three decades ago, we have been constantly challenging ourselves to keep making a real difference in global sustainable business. I would like to acknowledge the exceptional people at Firmenich that ensure we continue to lead in environmental management."
"Congratulations to Firmenich for achieving this position on CDP's A Lists this year and leading in environmental performance and transparency." said Paul Simpson, CEO of CDP. "The scale of the business risks from the climate emergency, deforestation and water insecurity are vast as are the opportunities from addressing them and it's clear the private sector has a vital role to play at this critical time. The A List companies like Firmenich are leading the market in corporate sustainability, tackling environmental risks and setting themselves up to thrive in tomorrow's economy."
"With environmental management programs embedded in our business, and active partnerships across our supply chain, we are accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable global economy," said Neil McFarlane, Senior VP Quality, Health, Safety & Environment, Firmenich. "Our teams are working hard on our journey towards zero impact and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with CDP."
