Geneva (ots/PRNewswire)

Second consecutive year in Ethisphere's assessment of best-in-class ethics, compliance & governance

Firmenich, the world's largest privately owned perfume and taste company, has been recognized as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies for the second time by Ethisphere®, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices. Ethisphere's 2023 listing comprised 135 honorees in the world in 19 countries based on their commitment to business integrity and leadership through best-in-class ethics, compliance, and governance practices.

"We are honored to be named as one of the 2023 World's Most Ethical Companies, gaining recognition for the second year running. Ethics is a critical foundation for the credibility of our business and our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance, and we strive to lead by example," said Firmenich CEO Gilbert Ghostine. "This listing demonstrates the strength of our values and commitment as a responsible business, as well as the consistently high standards of integrity that we aim to achieve in practice every day within the company and in our business relationships."

"As a family company, we believe that good business ethics and governance is fundamental to trust and reputation," said Firmenich General Counsel and Head of Legal and Compliance, Jane Sinclair. "Our Code of Ethics and policies guide everyday decision-making at all levels of the company and ensure we have clear expectations for our business partners, backed by continuous support and training to elevate our standards. Above all, Ethisphere is recognizing our colleagues' sustained efforts to operate with integrity, fairness and honesty."

Firmenich designs its processes to advance high standards in daily operations, communicate its values, counter bribery and corruption, and ultimately promote peaceful and inclusive societies. The Group regularly engages all its colleagues and suppliers on its Code of Ethics, and on related policies including on anti-corruption, human rights and safety.

"Ethics matters. Organizations that commit to business integrity through robust programs and practices not only elevate standards and expectations for all, but also have better long-term performance," said Ethisphere CEO, Erica Salmon Byrne. "We continue to be inspired by the World's Most Ethical Companies honorees and their dedication to making real impact for their stakeholders and displaying exemplary values-based leadership. Congratulations to Firmenich for earning a place in the World's Most Ethical Companies community."
