IFF Achieves Key 2020 Sustainability GoalsIFF (NYSE:IFF) today announced the achievement of key 2020 sustainability goals that were set at the launch of the Company's sustainability program in 2010. During that time, IFF met and surpassed its original intensity-based targets for three environmental goals, resulting in a reduction in its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water withdrawal and hazardous waste generation per metric ton of production by -42.6%, -67.1% and -41% below 2010 levels, respectively. IFF has also achieved its 2020 goal to have 100% of the palm oil used in its products be certified according to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Mass Balance Supply Chain Model. These and other milestones are captured in its latest Sustainability Report, "For a Better World," which is published today. The title references the Company's purpose - Applying science and creativity for a better world - a clear and bold aspiration that inspires everyone at IFF to push past traditional boundaries and to be a force for a better and more sustainable future. Andreas Fibig, IFF Chairman and CEO, said: "Although 2020 was a year unlike any we could have predicted, I am proud to say that IFF rose to the challenges we faced and remained steadfast in our commitments to people and planet - further strengthening our sustainability leadership position. As pleased as we are with our results, the solemnity of the urgent challenges that remain - from the climate emergency and nature loss to mounting inequality - compels us to do more, to do better. As we work toward a better world with the continued support of our employees, customers, suppliers and other partners, we look forward to building on our successes in 2020 and achieving even more ambitious environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets in the future." In addition to highlighting progress against IFF's 2020 environmental goals, the report also covers the Company's achievements throughout the business in leveraging sustainable practices within its global footprint.
