Our strategy

Consumers globally are looking to play their part in living more sustainably through the products that they buy. We enable customers to meet their sustainability goals through the sustainable benefits in use of our innovation and by improving the impact of our operations and supply chains. This includes removing fossil based ingredients, reducing emissions, restoring biodiversity and ensuring transparency through our supply chains. Our restorative sustainability strategy is built on 23 UN SDG targets, grouped around the themes of climate, nature and society, hence our commitment to be Climate, Land and People Positive by 2030.

We grow by creating new market and technology niches, so our success is dependent on our ability to deliver innovative solutions to customers. The foundation of our innovation model is internal R&D investment, applying the expertise of our scientists to meet customer needs. This is complemented by our open innovation network, providing access to over 500 universities and SMEs to help develop new intellectual property. In addition, we look to acquire technologies with disruptive potential that can be scaled through organic investment, further bolstering our innovation pipeline.
