Givaudan donates CHF 50,000 to disaster-hit communities in the Philippines

Givaudan has announced a donation of CHF 50,000 to support communities in the Philippines severely affected by a series of recent natural disasters. In recent months, the region has suffered a series of major earthquakes including the Cebu earthquake on 30 September 2025 and the Davao twin earthquakes on 10 October 2025. These events have impacted millions of people across several regions of the country.

The donation, made through the Givaudan Humanitarian Fund, will be directed to the Philippine Red Cross. The funds will strengthen relief operations providing integrated assistance in shelter and livelihoods, health, and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) for displaced populations and the hardest-hit communities.

“As a Company with a long-term presence in the Philippines, we stand in solidarity with all those affected by these devastating natural disasters. Through the Givaudan Humanitarian Fund, we will help enable the Philippine Red Cross to deliver life-saving assistance and essential support to families and communities rebuilding their lives.”

Simon Halle-Smith, Head of Global Human Resources and EHS for Givaudan

This latest donation aligns with Givaudan’s continued commitment to provide humanitarian support in countries where it operates, through its Givaudan Humanitarian Fund. The fund was launched in December 2024 and to date has provided CHF 350,000 in funding to communities in countries facing natural disasters and emergencies, from Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand to Spain and Switzerland.
