International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) says IFF-LMR Naturals has received the Institute for Marketecology (IMO) For Life Social Responsibility certification for its sustainability commitment.
“Sustainability is an integral part of our business strategy and a key differentiator for IFF,” noted Andreas Fibig, IFF chairman and CEO.
“We have made significant progress in executing and expanding our sustainability initiatives during the past year alone, including opening the largest solar field in the flavors and fragrances industry, inclusion in the CDP Climate Disclosure Leadership Index and now, the For Life Social Responsibility certification from IMO.”
The certification is broad in scope and requires adherence to criteria including environmental responsibility, fair working conditions, transparency, and community relations.
In addition to LMR receiving this certification, its agricultural and processing partner in Isparta, Turkey also received For Life certification relating to LMR’s Turkish rose supply chain.
For Life certification confirms that LMR and its partner in Turkey are committed to acting as responsible employers and promoters of sustainable practices.
