Givaudan’s global leadership in climate action has been reinforced once again by CDP with the award of the Company’s sixth consecutive CDP A score. Givaudan also secured an A minus score for water stewardship and a B for its CDP Forests disclosure, reflecting continued progress in addressing deforestation and the Company’s commitment to sustainable sourcing of palm oil.
Givaudan’s latest A rating on climate places it among a select group of companies recognised for their outstanding environmental performance.
“Once again, we are extremely proud of this recognition by CDP and I would like to thank all our colleagues, customers, suppliers and partners whose ongoing support and active collaboration has played a vital role in this achievement. This recognition is a moment not just to celebrate progress but most importantly to take stock of the journey we still have ahead and the challenges we will need to overcome, in order to continue to accelerate action and drive change.”
Gilles Andrier, Givaudan’s Chief Executive Officer
CDP’s global disclosure framework is designed to enable organisations, investors, cities, and regions to manage their environmental impacts effectively. Its annual scoring process is widely regarded as the benchmark for corporate environmental transparency. The scores provide organisations and stakeholders with insights into their progress toward a sustainable future aligned with a 1.5° climate goal, a deforestation-free world, and water security. By consistently disclosing their environmental data, organisations can better understand their sustainability trajectory.
Givaudan’s latest recognition further reinforces ongoing progress in its sustainability journey. Earlier this month, Givaudan was once again recognised as part of CDP’s Supplier Engagement Leaderboard, which highlights companies that are leading the way on taking action on climate change in collaboration with their suppliers. In January 2025, Givaudan announced new milestones on its climate journey with the validation of its new net-zero targets by the Science-based Targets initiative.
