Regulatory News:
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE:IFF) (Euronext Paris:IFF),
a leading global creator of flavors, fragrances and cosmetic actives for
consumer products, announced that its affiliate IFF-LMR Naturals
received its fourth For Life Social Responsibility designation issued by
the certification body IMOswiss AG (formerly Institute for
Marketecology), this time in cooperation with its vetiver partner in
Haiti. The For Life designation recognizes an organization’s adherence
to specific sustainability criteria, including transparency,
environmental responsibility, fair working conditions and positive

Turkey and its patchouli and basil supply chains in Madagascar.
“Sustainability is foundational to IFF’s Vision 2020 business strategy
and a key focus area throughout our global operations,” noted Andreas
Fibig, IFF Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “It has been an
integral part of the ethos of the LMR organization since the creation of
the company more than 30 years ago. Vetiver is an important ingredient
for perfumers and can be found in many of our fine fragrance and
consumer fragrance creations. This new recognition demonstrates our
continued commitment to strengthening sustainability across the supply
chain for the benefit of our customers and consumers. We will continue
to develop this third-party certification to further support sustainable
practices.”
Since its founding in Grasse, France in 1983, the stated mission of LMR
is to work with its partners around the world to research and produce
the highest possible quality natural, sustainable, transparent, and pure
ingredients to create essential oils, concretes and absolutes for use in
perfumery and flavors for food and beverages.
