Value-based governance Leading the way in regulatory compliance and product safety Our regulatory compliance and product safety teams ensure that all of our products are safe for consumers and the environment. We lead the industry in compliance and advocacy solutions that support the Company and our customers. Around the world there are frequent changes in the regulatory environment that can impact our customers’ products. Givaudan teams, from scientists and toxicologists to specialists in regulatory affairs, help bring our customers clarity and understanding of these changes and their implications. While regulatory compliance of our products is essential, it is also important for us to lead efforts in shaping the landscape of our industry through advocacy and membership in industry organisations. Taste & Wellbeing: extending our scope Our teams in Taste & Wellbeing have unique skills, capabilities and tools to service customers in managing the complex regulatory landscape. More than 200 experts provide superior regulatory services that are aligned with the needs of these customers through continuous improvements in technical content and communication as well as in speed of response and flexibility. These services include providing advocacy through industry associations at the global, regional and local levels, and helping to shape the regulatory frameworks around the world with the aim of standardisation. We are active in our membership of the International Organization of the Flavor Industry (IOFI) as well as regional and local industry associations. Our toxicology and product safety assessments have been expanded as our portfolio and business now extends into areas such as botanicals, naturals and food supplements. We ensure that we have all the relevant data in our compliance engine which is then able to produce comprehensive technical information services for our customers. This is an end-to-end process which starts with collecting information from suppliers, translating it in our compliance engine to our products and then providing the relevant information to customers.
