Growing through diversity
Symrise has issued its first integrated corporate report entitled Growing Through Diversity, which describes the links between sustainability and economic success and replaces the classic annual report. For the first time, DQS has certified the sustainability information contained in the report in accordance with the AA1000 Assurance Standard.
As a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, Symrise has voluntarily committed itself to establishing principles of responsible behavior in its strategy. The company achieved the Global Compact Advanced level this year, as it reports extensively on practical examples of its sustainability work. The Global Compact reflects the implementation of the social and environmental objectives of the United Nations for 2014-2016.
Interviews and reports in the corporate report illustrate the links between sustainability and economic success using concrete examples. For instance, Symrise talks about sustainable raw material sourcing in Madagascar, the efficient use of resources with a planned combined heat and power plant at the company headquarters in Holzminden, innovations inspired by nature at the new site in the Amazon region of Brazil and the diversity of people at Symrise.
