Trust starts with protection. In a world driven by tech, cybersecurity is our shield – guarding families, economies, and nations. October is #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth. Our Chief Information Security Officer, Wouter Vloeberghs, shares his top 3 tips to stay safe online, especially on social media: 🔐 Opt for complex, unique passwords. Use a password manager and double up with two-factor authentication. 💬 Avoid posting personal or sensitive information and limit visibility to those you trust. ‼️ Beware of phishing scams that ask for personal information. Look out for misspellings or unusual requests. What other steps do you take to stay cyber-safe? Drop your tips in the comments. ⬇️ #forceforgood

A huge shoutout to our teams in Maastricht, Delft, and Leeuwarden for joining forces to clean their neighborhoods for #WorldSustainabilityDay! 🏡 On a sunny autumn morning, our colleagues suited up in safety vests, grabbed trash bags, and got to work – collecting everything from sushi trays and pizza boxes to cigarette butts and even sweaters. Our commitment to making a meaningful impact for people and planet starts at home, and it comes to life through such meaningful employee initiatives. 🙌 #webringprogresstolife

October is an extra sweet time for gummies and candies – but today’s consumers are craving more than the sugar rush. 🍬 With 30% of people identifying as flexitarians and 72% cutting back on sugar, the demand for healthier treats is soaring. At dsm-firmenich, we help create indulgent plant-based confectionery with intense flavors, customized mouthfeel, and vibrant colors. Think gummy bears made with fruit-based pectins like beta-carotene for that bold orange pop and seasonal flavor. 🧡 Plus, our sugar reduction toolkit and vitamin-fortified options are transforming gummies into guilt-free, nutrient-packed treats. 😋 The future of gummies is here, and it’s delicious.

We’re delighted to share that our targets to reach net-zero emissions have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. Check them out! 👇📽️ This is a significant step in our journey to create a sustainable future. SBTi’s validation is a confirmation that our path to reduce emissions are aligned with its 1.5°C mitigation pathways. We’re accelerating progress to a net-zero future by prioritizing a range of decarbonization initiatives with our customers and suppliers to reduce our direct and indirect emissions, with all residual emissions to be neutralized in line with SBTi criteria. At this important milestone, we reflect on the need for decisive action to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C – and call on all our stakeholders to take similar steps.

This #WorldBlindnessAwarenessMonth, we’re honoring the incredible contributions of visually impaired people (VIPs) to the fragrance and flavor industry. Since launching our first sensory panel in 2015, we’ve witnessed the extraordinary talents of VIPs in identifying and describing complex taste and smell profiles. From Mexico to Singapore, London, India, and China, this program has grown into a global movement. 🌍✨ The panel is more than a career opportunity, it’s a platform for financial independence, social recognition, and breaking down barriers – proving that diverse perspectives are key to driving innovation. 🙌 Read more here: https://bit.ly/48ked2L #webringprogresstolife dsm-firmenich Perfumery & Ingredients

Last week’s poll about the smell of space really took off! And today, our perfumer Nicolas BONNEVILLE is sharing the answer and bringing us back down to Earth. 🧑🚀   The answer, according to astronauts, is “hot metal” — but that’s because of their proximity to the International Space Station. The true sensory profile of space is more mysterious and poetic…   As Nicolas puts it: “The olfactive interpretation of the scent of space is an exploratory work of matter in all its states: gaseous, solid, hot versus cold matter, using ingredients that play with the universal olfactive memory.”   So, really, the smell of space depends on what’s filling it — and there are more answers to that question than stars in the sky. ✨ 🪐   #shapethefuture

"Hunger can't be solved by one sector alone. It’s time to be bold and partner in unexpected ways to drive bigger and lasting change." 🤝 Last week, we hosted an incredibly insightful webinar on ‘Bridging the Micronutrient Gap’ with experts from Micronutrient Forum, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Access to Nutrition Initiative. Key insights included: 🍴 We need to make hidden hunger visible. We need to make mulnutrition everyone’s business. 💰 For every $1 invested in nutrition, the return is as high as $23. 🌽 Foods systems must prioritize micronutrient-rich, climate-resilient crops.

This #WorldMenopauseDay, we’re celebrating strength, wisdom, and transformation — and sharing our latest progress in helping women embrace this phase of life with confidence and self-love. 👸 🦋 Ten years ago, we developed a special form of vitamin B3, Niacinamide PC, for use in cosmetic applications. Since then, the product has become extremely popular for its remarkable efficacy. Now, our newest invivo study clearly validates it as a highly effective solution for menopausal skin concerns: protecting collagen, hydrating the skin, and rebalancing ceramides that maintain skin integrity. 😍 Fantastic work by dsm-firmenich Beauty & Care to help uplift women as they navigate this new chapter of their lives!
