Published: 27-Mar-2012

On course to meet 2020 sustainability targets


Givaudan has launched its Sustainability Report 2011, entitled Making Progress Together. The report, externally assured by auditors at Ernst & Young, confirms the progress Givaudan has made against its 2020 operational targets. Against 2009 baselines, water efficiency has improved by 13.8%, energy efficiency by 7.8% and CO2 emissions have been reduced by 12.8% per tonne of product. The company has also seen a 44% reduction in the rate of lost time injuries across all manufacturing sites.

The report also details progress Givaudan has made against its mid-term sustainability key point indicators. The report was prepared using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Reporting Guidelines and externally assured by Ernst & Young, and GRI confirmed that Givaudan fulfills the requirements of Application Level B+.

“While 2011 was focused on delivering against our sustainability commitments it was equally important to reflect on the progress we had made and to ensure our efforts are aligned with key stakeholders,” said Joe Fabbri, global head of human resources and chair of the Givaudan Sustainability Programme. “Our ongoing dialogue with all audiences – ranging from customers and employees, to investors and suppliers – has been documented in the report, which demonstrates that we are making considerable progress on our sustainability journey.”
