Givaudan’s heritage in natural ingredients for fragrances, rooted in responsible sourcing.
Reflecting the Company’s ambition to source all materials in a way that protects people and environment, our responsible sourcing approach is underpinned by an innovative umbrella programme called Sourcing4Good. Created in partnership with expert, multidisciplinary teams, Sourcing4Good is based on collaboration and knowledge-sharing, together with experience and expert input from suppliers, customers and partners.

Promoting the sustainability of natural ingredients with positive impact on nature, people and communities
As we accelerate our progress towards our responsible sourcing goals, Sourcing4Good aims to increase transparency, reduce risk and improve traceability and data across supply chains, positively impacting nature, people and communities.

The long-term future of natural resources can only be secured by building strong relationships with local producers around the world. From the misty forests of Madagascar to the sun-drenched slopes of Andalusia, Givaudan’s field teams and partners travel to remote corners of the world to source a wide variety of precious natural ingredients.
The key to our continued success in securing the long-term supply of these often fragile plants is the close working relationship we establish with the very people who grow, collect and distil our raw materials.

Supporting communities and nature through the Givaudan Foundation
Established in 2013, the Givaudan Foundation is a non-profit organisation that supports communities and nature where Givaudan sources and operates. Since its creation, the Foundation has been active in many countries and its work has touched a lot of beneficiaries, their families and communities.
The Givaudan Foundation operates across two pillars:
- Communities where Givaudan sources natural ingredients: supporting natural ingredient producers, their families and local communities by addressing specific social, economic and environmental issues.
- Communities where Givaudan employees work: supporting employee-driven projects that promote education, economic opportunity and wellbeing, and help communities protect their natural resources.
The Givaudan Foundation’s mission is to make a difference in these communities, focusing on livelihoods, wellbeing and the conservation of natural resources.
