The Objectives of the Charter

Six goals that guide the IFRA-IOFI Sustainability Charter and its signatory companies.

1

Raise Awareness

Through the Charter, we seek to raise awareness of sustainability throughout the flavor and fragrance (F&F) sectors — among companies, employees, customers, and the wider public.
2

Provide Businesses with a Toolbox

The Charter offers businesses a toolbox with best practices, a compendium of legal requirements and standards to help raise the bar on sustainability across the F&F value chain.
3

Offer Guidance and Share Best Practices

Using what we've learned from the Charter, we help provide advice and guidance on implementing sustainability best practices, enabling every signatory company to improve.
4

Report on Progress

We benchmark progress as an industry, publishing regular Sustainability Reports to show how signatory companies are fulfilling or working towards the Commitments in the Charter.
5

Build Stakeholder Trust

We enhance dialogue and trust with our stakeholders, informing them of our progress on sustainability and gathering their feedback to continuously improve our approach.
6

Identify Collaboration Opportunities

The Charter provides a platform for greater exchange of information and ideas, and creates opportunities for cooperation within and outside the F&F sectors to address shared sustainability challenges.
