Conscious by design
Perfumes with positive impact? We’ve perfected the blend.
Our Perfumery & Beauty vision to Go beyond well being, uniting delight and care, for positive impact is what drives us everyday. With the commitment to doing good, better than ever – helping to reduce the industry’s footprint from source to you.
Of course, we know we’re not the only ones who want to make a difference: dsm-firmenich research shows that climate change is consumers’ second-biggest concern worldwide, and 73% want more environmentally friendly products. Together, we can help move the needle – by designing, developing, and delivering sustainable, eco-conscious, and circular solutions that support our own carbon reduction as well as customers’ and end consumers’ efforts to reduce their impact.
Smells like progress
Our formulation for success? A holistic sustainability strategy that encompasses a wide range of approaches to driving progress for people and planet – from future-proofing our world-leading palette to building responsible supply chains, investing in circular innovation, and eco-designing fragrances with evidence-backed impact claims.
In other words, we’re harnessing our innovation and creation powers to bring progress to life in perfumery. Beyond well-being, we bring delight and care, for positive impact.

Measuring today
to shape tomorrow
To play a meaningful part in the transition to a more sustainable world, we need to be clear about where we stand now and where we want to be. And data is key to this. Fact.
Reliable, robust, and accurate data is what’s steering our own and our customers’ carbon emission reduction as we work towards our SBTI-validated Net Zero 2045 target .
Our comprehensive carbon reduction roadmap extends throughout the value chain and is guided by LCA data, which gives us – and ultimately, consumers – the knowledge to make informed decisions and power change. We collaborate with peers and partners to collectively drive the transformation we need and formulate a future that smells sweeter than ever.
And on the road to decarbonization, we ensure alignment with leading carbon accounting frameworks, including methodologies such as the WBCSD Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT), PEF, TfS, and CSRD reporting requirements. Our advanced Scope 3 Data Tools leverage 16 Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCRs) and predictive LCA data to deliver highly accurate, science-based carbon measurements.
People. Planet. Progress
We make a unique contribution to the world by combining the essential, the desirable, and the sustainable.
