Sustainable fragrances

Sustainable and responsible fragrances

Our Perfumery division is on the scent of more sustainable fragrances. We’re committed to doing good, better than ever – helping to reduce the perfumery industry’s environmental impact from source to spritz.

Of course, we know we’re not the only ones who want to make a difference: dsm-firmenich research shows that 59% of consumers are concerned about climate change. Together with our partners, we can help move the needle – by designing, developing, and delivering sustainable, eco-conscious, and circular solutions that support our customers and end consumers to reduce their environmental impact. 

Smells like progress 

Our formulation for success? A holistic sustainability strategy that encompasses a wide range of approaches to driving progress for people and planet – from transforming our world-leading palette to optimize our manufacturing processes. From building responsible supply chains to investing in circular science. And from measuring our impact to helping customers make evidence-backed impact claims.

In other words, we’re harnessing our innovation and creation powers to bring progress to life in perfumery: creating ** for the senses while treating our planet well, too.
