Through this voluntary initiative, the flavour and fragrance industries seek to encourage improvements in the area of sustainable development by offering advice, sharing best practices and measuring improvement by: ▪ Raising awareness of sustainability within the sector ▪ Providing businesses with a toolbox to help them continuously; improve their performance ▪ Reporting on progress at an industry level ▪ Continuing to build trust between the flavour and fragrance industries and stakeholders ▪ Identifying opportunities for collaboration to address shared challenges. IOFI and IFRA, as global organisations representing the flavour and fragrance industries, provide businesses with the platform to identify, assess and report on progress in the area of sustainable development, by establishing a framework for progress which encompasses the life cycle - from sustainable sourcing, to the environmental footprint, to employee well-being, to product safety.
