Symrise signs United Nations Global Compact

Symrise AG has joined the United Nations Global Compact, the largest voluntary corporate responsibility initiative in the world. In doing so, the company commits itself to the goals of the compact: uniting entrepreneurial activity with societal and environmental concerns.

The United Nations brought the initiative into being twelve years ago. By signing the compact all members, particularly companies and organizations, commit to ten universally accepted basic principles of sustainable and ethical economic activity. Thus, the Global Compact sets standards for human rights, labor rights, environmental protection and anti-corruption measures.

“We share the principles of the Global Compact and have long lived by them at Symrise with our sustainability vision and strategy. Together with other companies, we wish to do our part in making globalization socially and ecologically sustainable,” says Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Bertram, CEO of Symrise AG.
