"It is a great honor to be one of only two companies in the world to reach, the CDP Supplier Engagement Leaderboard, as well as triple "A" status for climate change, water security, and forests," said Gilbert Ghostine, CEO Firmenich. "These world-class recognitions illustrate how Firmenich's sustainability leadership is well entrenched beyond our business and positively impacting our supply chain."
"We started disclosing our environmental performance through CDP Supply Chain 10 years ago and were the first perfume and taste company to ask our suppliers to also disclose through CDP," commented Neil McFarlane, Senior VP Quality, Health, Safety, Security & Environment, Firmenich. "We are very proud of this achievement that highlights the incredible work done by our environmental and purchasing teams.
