ESG ratings

Givaudan has been recognised for its global leadership in climate for the seventh consecutive year with a prestigious A rating from CDP. 

As an A List company, we are leaders in corporate transparency and action on climate change. 

We are proud to have also secured an A– on our water disclosure and a B for our third forests disclosure, reflecting ongoing progress on our efforts to address deforestation. The CDP forests questionnaire focuses on how organisations produce, source, and use four key forest risk commodities: timber, cattle products, soy, and palm oil. 

CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognised as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. A CDP A rating is awarded to companies who are going beyond awareness and management to showing environmental leadership and demonstrating best practice in strategy and action. 

This latest independent, external recognition of our performance underlines our ongoing commitment to our purpose and sustainability ambitions, including our ambition to reach net-zero across our value chain by 2045 and its continued commitment to water stewardship.

Givaudan currently holds ‘Committed to Sustainability’ status with a score of 69/100.

The EcoVadis assessment evaluates how well a company has integrated the principles of CSR into its business and management systems. It examines categories including environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement and assesses the performance of companies across multiple sectors.

As of November 2025, Givaudan received an ESG Risk Rating of 14.3 from Morningstar Sustainalytics and was assessed to be at ‘low risk’ of experiencing material financial impacts from ESG factors.
