“Responsibility is in our nature” was the motto of Symrise’s #AGM today. As new CEO of #Symrise AG, Dr. Jean-Yves PARISOT presented the key figures and the development until the end of 2023. An organic growth of 7.9%, an adjusted EBITDA of 19.1% and a profit of € 340 million are good figures considering the global economic conditions. As growth drivers served food, beverages, pet food, luxury perfumery and cosmetic care. Strategic outlook: Today, as an augmented flavors house we are combining Taste, Nutrition, Health and Sustainability and are thus offering a clear competitive advantage. In Scent & Care, we trust in our strong foundation for further profitable growth. Furthermore, we create synergies with a joint production platform through backward integration. We will continue to invest in growth opportunities and the expansion of our production capacities. Always considering sustainability as a key factor along the entire value chain. A big thank you to all shareholders for your visit and for your continued trust in us! #symrise #alwaysinspiringmore #growingsustainably #responsibility #AGM2024 #growthstrategy

Excited to be back in Amsterdam at the Scope 3 Innovation Forum next week for a panel discussion with Maurice Loosschilder (Signify), Francois Tasmowski (Unilever), Jodie Leek (ASOS.com) and moderator Ruth Rennie (RSC). We'll be covering the #Scope3 essentials such as: - How do you decide what information you ask for from your suppliers based on what you want to manage? - How do you engage and incentivise suppliers to share information? - How much data do you need from suppliers to be able to prioritise action? And I'm most interested in the discussion on how you can reach multiple tiers into your supply chain to measure, analyse and action impact reduction initiatives. For example - #regenerativeagriculture is a key topic and the target of $bns of investments for leading Food & Bev and Apparel companies - but the ability to trace back the impact of such initiatives in the data on what you're buying is currently very restricted. Looking forward to discussions on these topics with the global companies who have real power to drive significant change!
