“Sustainability considerations are at the heart of our new developments and guide our daily work.

From advancing our ingredients and formulations to optimizing the most resource- and energy-efficient processes, technologies and supply chains.
We have been able to significantly increase the ratio of our R&D projects.”

Dr. Gerhard Krammer, Senior Vice President Research and Technology, Regulatory and Formula Management, Food & Beverage

A creative approach to sustainable solutions

A creative approach
to sustainable solutions


Innovation is a core competency of our business, and we challenge our R&D teams and partnerships to provide the foundations for a sustainable future. By developing sustainable solutions, we’re able to secure and strengthen the future of our company, our customers’ businesses and the world around us.

All of the product development that we do adheres to strict sustainability criteria, maximizing not only our products’ value to our customers, but its social and ecological value as well. Our future developments are built on a commitment to:

  • Eco-friendly chemistry
  • Resource-efficient production
  • New technology and digitalization opportunities

To help us better achieve our goals, we developed the Product Sustainability Scorecard, a patented procedure that allows us to record the environmental impact of raw materials and products in a systematic manner. Ultimately, this allows both us and our customers to select the most environmentally friendly options possible when it comes to product development.

All our advances are measured against the Product Sustainability Scorecard

With the Product Sustainability Scorecard, Symrise documents the impact of raw materials and products on sustainability on the basis of ten criteria, enabling our customers to select the most eco-friendly solution in a comparison of available alternatives.

Symrise is a member of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI)

The goal of the Initiative is to support and accelerate the transition from fossil carbon to renewable carbon for all organic chemicals and materials.
