Exhibit 10.1

SENSIENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

Policy on Recovery of Incentive Compensation from Executives

The Company awards both cash incentive compensation and equity-based
compensation to its executives from time to time (collectively, together with
any other bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation,
"Incentive Compensation").  Beginning January 1, 2012, if Sensient is required
to prepare an accounting restatement due to Sensient's material noncompliance
with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, as a result
of misconduct by a current or former executive officer (the "Offending
Officer"), the  Compensation and Development Committee of the Board of Directors
(the "Committee") shall have the right to recover on behalf of the Company from
the Offending Officer, acting in the Committee's sole discretion based upon the
facts and circumstances:
 
(1)
all or any portion of any Incentive Compensation received by the Offending
Officer from Sensient during the 12-month period following the first public
issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever occurs first) of the financial
document embodying such financial reporting requirement; and

 
(2)
any profits realized by the Offending Officer from the sale of Sensient
securities during that 12-month period.

 
This right of recovery and the corresponding reimbursement obligations shall be
deemed to be incorporated into all awards of Incentive Compensation occurring
after the date this policy is adopted and shall be deemed accepted by each
recipient as a condition to any award.  It may also be included in the Incentive
Compensation award documents.
 
Nothing herein shall limit or restrict the Company's other rights to take any
other actions that it deems appropriate to remedy any fraud or misconduct.
