Our business model
Our value creation process shows how Givaudan draws on its various resources, called capital inputs, and translate them into outcomes - the internal and external consequences of our business activities that impact the Company and its stakeholders.
Our value creation process begins with resources called capital inputs.
We have identified six kinds of capitals that feed Givaudan’s value chain:
- Financial capital
- Intellectual capital
- Human capital

- Manufactured capital
- Social and relationship capital
Together, these inputs feed directly into our business model.
