Significant advancements in 2021: • Collaboration with Manus Bio, leading US manufacturer of sustainable natural products, on a new sustainable ingredient developed via fermentation. • Collaboration with Gingko Bioworks Inc., on cell programming • Collaboration with Biosyntia, Danish biotech, on the development of fermentation processes for select small molecules Contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) For example, in China, we entered into an industry-first partnership with Tmall, the Alibaba group's open business-to- consumer (B2C) platform, to launch the T-Lab source innovation laboratory. We also strengthened our e-commerce offering through the opening of a flagship business-to-business (B2B) store on China’s leading wholesale website, 1688.com. The partnerships will bring unprecedented consumer and brand insights, and a unified online and offline experience through seamless integration of Givaudan’s digital capabilities and industry-leading perfumery teams. At the end of 2021 we opened a new Digital Space in China to drive innovation. Strategically located at Givaudan’s Shanghai Fragrance & Beauty site, it will allow us to leverage transformation opportunities and to support the growth with local and regional customers in the region. Innovative digital projects at this new facility will complement the explorations and developments at our Digital Factory in Paris, which opened in 2019. In France, a specialised team partnered with researchers and academics from the Université Côte d'Azur, medical professionals from the Nice University Hospital (CHUN) and product designers from Onepoint, alongside our perfumery experts and digital specialists to create Ma Madeleine™, an olfactory kit guided by a web application to help repair the sense of smell for those who have been impacted by COVID-19 or other illnesses. SUPPLIERS Accelerating ideation and co-creation Co-creating with our suppliers brings opportunities for growth and strengthens our joint efforts to ensure a responsible and sustainable future. Our collaborations result in new ingredients and novel ideas that enhance our creative palette to deliver better product performance and commercialisation. We have about 300 suppliers from, large to small, global to local which are significant for our innovation solutions portfolio. Selective ‘matchmaking’ allows us to align needs with solutions and we are actively investigating a number of areas including food texture, technologies and solutions that contribute to renewability and biodegradability; two focus areas that help us meet our nature ambitions. We re-shaped our Supplier Enabled Innovation programme and established a strategic initiative with a selected number of partners called ‘Connect to Win’. Its aim is to unlock value from our existing supplier relationships and create a pipeline of technological innovations that differentiate us in the market. It is a structured, open-door approach that allows us to add significant value to our existing procurement approaches while creating value in our innovation agenda.
