Our support for the SDGs Prioritising to make a difference Our sustainability approach is driven by our purpose; ‘Creating for happier, healthier lives with love for nature. Let’s imagine together’. It sits at the heart of our business as we grow together with our customers and strive to be a force for good. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were designed by the UN to cover a broad range of social and economic development issues by mobilising efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change. Through our ambitious purpose and sustainability goals, we actively support the delivery of those SDGs where we believe can make the greatest impact and so focus on 10 of the 17 goals. UNGC Givaudan adheres to the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in its business practices, comprising the four areas of human rights, labour standards, environment and anti-corruption.

We believe that through game-changing innovation in food and beverages we can encourage an uptake of healthier dietary choices, contributing to addressing global food challenges. By enabling access to plant- based protein ingredients, for example, our innovations are possible steps towards sustainably nourishing the growing global population. Givaudan relies on thriving local communities to source many natural ingredients and we work closely with our supply chains to encourage better nutrition among local producers. Good health and well-being One of the key ambitions of our purpose is that by 2030, we will double our business through creations that contribute to happier, healthier lives. We are working hard to achieve this. For example, by developing solutions for food and beverage products with less sugar, fat or salt, we enable people to make healthier food choices.
