Inclusion drives our ability to collaborate with customers and deliver innovative solutions, enabling us to serve a diverse consumer base and workforce. Our strategic pillars guide our actions and are embedded in how we work together every single day.
We believe each employee’s unique lived experience is key to our inclusive culture. At the crossroads between science, creativity and heart is a place of innovation that fosters the authentic self. At IFF, we create a dynamic, inclusive environment that welcomes a global workforce.
We align with organizations committed to creating a better world and supplying the data and insights needed to help us make that happen. Our strategic partnerships with groups such as Equality, Diversity and Gender Equality (EDGE), Workplace Pride, DisabiltyIn and others, help support and guide our work to help embed engagement where it matters.
We create pathways and remove barriers for diverse businesses through our global Supplier Diversity Program.
With 203 women-owned companies currently in our supply chain, we are on an upward trajectory in extending outreach to key suppliers and deepening our partnerships with community organizations, such as WEConnect International, to match prospective diverse suppliers with IFF procurement teams.
