It takes its customers and consumers, its employees, society and the environment into consideration. Therefore, as an international company, Symrise actively supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The 17 global sustainability goals and their 169 subgoals were adopted by all UN member states in 2015 via the “Agenda 2030.” The SDGs show how politics, business and private individuals around the world can tackle the major challenges of our time – from resource consumption to global inequalities and climate change. With these goals, the international community has set a course for a more sustainable world by 2030. Companies can make a major contribution to the implementation of SDGs because they influence the environment and society in many ways – from production to distribution of their products, as employers and in cooperation with partners and suppliers along the supply chain. We are aware of this responsibility at Symrise and want to make an effective contribution to the SDGs.
