Givaudan is proudly marking a milestone
in its journey to sustainable natural ingredients
with an event celebrating
‘Ten years of Ethical Sourcing’
in Paris from 18 to 22 January 2016.
The event showcases a selection of innovations and inspirations
among Givaudan’s key natural ingredients such as
* tonka beans from Venezuela,
* ylang ylang from Mohéli,
* vetiver from Haiti,
* patchouli from Indonesia and
* cistus from Spain.
Givaudan began pioneering an ethical sourcing approach
in the fragrance and flavours industry a decade ago.
Starting out with partnerships with local producers,
the Company today uses different sourcing models including
its own collection networks.
Givaudan’s Origination team creates a human chain
from growers to consumers by deploying dedicated employees
in the countries of origin, fostering best practices in sourcing
and ensuring that producers and local communities benefit
in the long-term from supplying the industry.
Sourcing natural ingredients also provides
new opportunities for creative stimulation and innovation.
Exploring raw materials at the source and combining them
with ingredients obtained through the latest techniques such as
* bioscience has led to innovations like Akigalawood®,
a new natural product derived from patchouli, and
* Roasted Tonka, an intense aroma obtained
through an exclusive roasting process.
These techniques provide Givaudan’s perfumers and flavourists
new ways of working with naturals and further
enrich the palette of over 200 of the highest quality natural ingredients
that Givaudan offers its customers, including
sandalwood, tonka bean, benzoin, vanilla, ylang ylang,
lavender, vetiver, patchouli and cistus.
Gilles Andrier,
GIVAUDAN CEO
“We are proud to mark this milestone
in our journey to sustainable natural ingredients.
By taking a long-term approach to securing
the most fragile natural supply chains and
supporting local communities, Givaudan is working
to create a virtuous circle in line with
our 2020 strategy of responsible growth
and shared success for customers, communities
and the Company,”
