Regulatory News:
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE: IFF)
(Euronext Paris: IFF) (TASE: IFF), was recognized on CDP’s A List
for Climate Change for the fourth consecutive year and received an
“A” for Water Security for the first time, naming IFF a global
leader in environmental responsibility.
CDP, an international not-for-profit, assesses companies on the
comprehensiveness of their disclosure, their awareness and
management of environmental risks and their demonstration of best
practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting
ambitious and meaningful targets.
“We are delighted to be among an elite group of companies
committed to environmental action,” said Andreas Fibig, IFF
Chairman and CEO. “Inclusion in CDP’s A List for Water Security
reflects the tremendous effort put into developing our next
generation of environmental goals, EcoEffective+.” Mr. Fibig
continued, “The recognition by CDP confirms that we are on the
right path.”
In 2018, the Company established EcoEffective+, a set of
aspirational, environmental goals that include long-term emissions
and water targets. IFF achieved year-over-year reductions of 14.7%
and 23.3% in greenhouse gas emissions and water withdraw
intensities, respectively.
“We continue to challenge ourselves to better understand how we
can tackle climate change and water security,” said Francisco
Fortanet, IFF EVP, Operations. “Part of this requires continuous
improvement in the quality and transparency of our disclosures.
Fortunately, our Green Teams around the world are eager to take on
this challenge -- and these honors reflect their efforts.”
