Following several years of freak weather and environmental disasters, there is little doubt that we are in the midst of a climate emergency. At IFF we’re committed to promoting sustainability and reducing the negative impact that we as a company, and as individuals, have on the environment.
IFF’s Green Group
Recognising this, IFF’s Green Group was formed in 2019 to embed sustainable practices into all areas and all levels of the business. Specifically they work to help us:
- Reduce carbon emissions to net zero
- Reduce waste and resource use
- Lead and inspire behaviour change
- Hold senior leaders to account
As part of this commitment we’re proud signatories of the MRS Climate Pledge. This requires signatories to commit to tracking and disclosing their carbon emissions, reducing energy use, and collaborating with others about environmental concerns.

Actions relating to this pledge are led by IFF’s Green Group – comprising team members from various levels and departments.
We’re passionate about making a difference, but we know there’s a long way to go. As part of our pledge, we have compiled a comprehensive report detailing our emissions throughout the year. This report not only outlines our carbon footprint, but also presents clear and actionable steps toward significantly reducing our emissions. By sharing our plan, we aim to show our path towards meeting our sustainability goals and demonstrate our accountability and commitment to tackling climate change.
