Company showcases year-over-year performance, will host fourth annual ESG Webcast May 23

IFF (NYSE:IFF) today released its 2022 Do More Good Report, which highlights performance and progress against goals set forth in the Do More Good Plan, the Company’s environmental, social, governance, plus sustainable solutions (or ESG+) strategy and roadmap that activates its purpose of applying science and creativity for a better world.

The Do More Good Report: IFF’s 2022 ESG+ Progress, describes the first full year of performance and progress as One IFF following the 2021 merger with DuPont’s Nutrition & Biosciences division. IFF will hold a live webcast to discuss the Company’s Do More Good Plan and goals, 2022 ESG+ results, and 2023 sustainability outlook on May 23, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. ET.

“When we launched our Do What Matters Most strategy in 2022, we committed to embedding ESG+ in all we do,” said Frank Clyburn, IFF CEO. “Our 2022 Do More Good Report illustrates the steps we’re taking to deliver on our commitments to address sustainable development imperatives. Our world-class R&D program and commitment to innovation fuels a pipeline of exciting sustainable solutions that are helping our customers reach their ESG goals and, in turn, responding to heightened consumer expectations on sustainability.”

The 2022 Do More Good Report is organized according to the four pillars of the Do More Good Plan, which reflect the areas where the Company can have the greatest positive impact in addressing the world’s most pressing sustainable development challenges: Sustainable Solutions; Climate & Planetary Health; Equity & Wellbeing; and Transparency & Accountability.
