During this year’s Investor Field Trip, we welcomed more than 40 investors and analysts to Amsterdam and Naarden for an opportunity to gain deeper insights into Givaudan’s Taste & Wellbeing business and see our strategy in action.


Our Investor Field Trip began in the heart of Amsterdam, bringing guests together along the city’s canals for a taste of local culture and tradition. A traditional herring tasting offered a sensory experience and an introduction to Amsterdam’s food history. Later that evening, Givaudan Netherlands’ management team welcomed investors and analysts for dinner, setting the scene for the next day of engaging conversations, shared experiences and discovery.

At our Naarden site, one of Givaudan’s largest Taste & Wellbeing hubs globally, participants experienced first-hand how our strategy comes to life across the value chain.


Christian Stammkoetter, our CEO, opened the programme by sharing how Europe provides a strong role model for our strategy evolution. The presentations highlighted how commercial strategy optimisation, continuous innovation within Science & Technology and customer focused execution are already driving growth.


The day continued with presentations by our Science & Technology, Regional Innovation and Commercial teams. Investors gained deeper insights into how we combine flavour science, bioscience, consumer understanding and innovation to develop differentiated and high value adding customer solutions and create sustainable growth opportunities. In the afternoon, the experience tour brought these capabilities to life through food and beverage concepts with no alcohol beer solutions, functional drinks backed by strong consumer insight understanding, tastings and innovation platforms, such as high protein dairy and hot & spicy applications. Participants experienced how Givaudan gathers consumer data and generates insights on emerging market trends that can be translated into differentiated solutions and growth opportunities for our customers.
