Regulatory News:
IFF (NYSE:IFF) (Euronext Paris: IFF) (TASE: IFF), a leading
innovator of taste, scent, nutrition & ingredients, announced
today that it has been named for the first time to the Dow Jones
Sustainability Indices (DJSI), a family of best-in-class benchmarks
for investors who have recognized that sustainable business
practices are critical to generating long-term shareholder value.
Named to both the 2020 World Index and the North America Index,
this distinction validates IFF’s leadership position in
sustainability performance and underscores the company’s commitment
to executing on key environmental, social and governance (ESG)
priorities.
The SAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) is used as the
basis for evaluating and selecting companies for inclusion in the
DJSI. IFF’s total CSA score places the company among the top 10
percent of sustainability performers in the world, as assessed from
among the 2,500 largest companies in the S&P Global Brand
Market Index. Similarly, IFF ranks among the top 20 percent of the
600 largest companies in the S&P Global Brand Market Index in
North America.
“In line with our corporate purpose of redefining how we live in
and care for the resources of our world, we are proud to be counted
among this elite group of the world’s sustainability leaders,” said
Andreas Fibig, Chairman and CEO of IFF. “With a record number of
companies participating this year amidst more stringent rules for
inclusion, the recognition is a true testament to all IFFers who
daily embrace a deep sense of sustainability in their work and who
are continually finding uncommon ways to go beyond ‘business as
usual’.”
In 2019, IFF was named one of Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable
Companies for the third consecutive year and listed in the
FTSE4Good Index series as well as the Euronext Vigeo World 120
Index for ESG performance. IFF was also named to CDP’s A list for
climate change for the fifth consecutive year and to its A list for
water security for the second year in a row. For more on IFF
