NY-IFF
IFF (NYSE:IFF) today released its 2023 Do More Good Report, describing how the Company is progressing against its environmental, social, governance, and sustainable solutions (or ESG+) strategy across the organization. The report showcases that IFF enabled customers and consumers to avoid approximately 24.6 million tonnes of CO2e emissions using IFF innovations, amongst other achievements. The new report can be experienced by visiting iff.com/domoregoodreport.
“Sustainability for us at IFF is more than just a cost of doing business today – it drives everything we do,” said Erik Fyrwald, IFF CEO. “Our passion for sustainable innovation, coupled with ambitious target-setting is vital in helping our customers achieve their sustainability goals and targets.”
This new report marks the third year following the 2021 launch of the Company’s Do More Good™ Plan, which strategically positions IFF to amplify industry-wide and societal change toward sustainable development. The Plan is built upon four pillars: Sustainable Solutions, Climate & Planetary Health, Equity & Wellbeing, and Transparency & Accountability. The Do More Good Report lays out IFF’s achievements in each respective pillar. Furthermore, the most recent disclosures are organized according to the results of a double materiality¹ assessment commissioned by IFF to understand and identify the most important ESG topics impacting its business, along with the factors where IFF may also have an impact on society and the environment.
Key accomplishments from 2023 include:
- ESG leadership recognition, such as qualifying as a constituent of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, North America, for the fourth consecutive year
- Nine in-person human rights impact assessments completed for strategic supply chains in six countries
- 21% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions below 2021 baseline levels
- Ten new IFF facilities achieved internal zero waste to landfill (ZWL) verification, totaling 51 ZWL major manufacturing facilities to date
- No statistically relevant gender pay gap in 27 countries assessed through EDGE Move level global certification
- 100% employee completion rate on annual business ethics training
The new report also includes examples of innovations led by sustainable thinking. For instance, IFF is one of the largest global buyers and harvesters of seaweed for hydrocolloids, which are essential ingredients in many foods, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, and cosmetics. As part of its commitment to support members of the seaweed value-chain, IFF partnered with Bellona, an environmental NGO, to restore seaweed forests in northern Norway overtaken by more than 300 invasive species of sea urchins. Returning about 5,000 km² of urchin barrens back into vibrant kelp forests has inspired the visual graphics displayed in the 2023 report.
IFF retained an independent third party to assess whether the report presents a complete and balanced presentation of its sustainability activities and performance in accordance with the GRI Standards, and whether the 2023 information and data for specified indicators are fairly presented in accordance with the reporting criteria. IFF has annually issued a standards-adherent sustainability report since 2010. To learn more about past sustainability reporting at IFF, visit its report library.
