As we embark on our next five-year strategic cycle, we are energised and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.
The last five years have shown that Givaudan has the right approach to lead its business. One that stays true to who we are and what we do best: offering creative, innovative solutions that meet the needs of our customers. Over the next five years, our ambition is to grow further, even more responsibly and with even greater impact, creating value for our business, customers and society.
While our new 2030 strategy, unveiled in August 2025, will officially take effect in January 2026, this page serves as a source of inspiration, highlighting the vision and direction for our upcoming five-year journey.

Reaching our 2030 purpose ambitions
At the heart of our journey lies our purpose. It guides and shapes our business decisions and priorities as we move forward. Importantly, it is fully integrated into our overall strategy, ensuring that every aspect of our business reflects this commitment. Read more about our purpose.
Always guided by our purpose, we see significant potential and opportunities to drive value creation for people, nature and communities.
At the heart of our business lies the relationship with our customers. Our mission is to empower them in developing innovative solutions that create exceptional experiences, resonating deeply with consumers. By prioritising collaboration and understanding their unique needs, we aim to drive sustainable growth that benefits not only our customers but also society and the environment.
We will inspire our customers and continue extending our market reach to fast growing customer segments. These will include opportunities with local and regional customers, as well as with multinational customers.
We will intensify our presence in high growth markets and amplify our investments in our established markets.
We will elevate our core capabilities and selectively expand in high value-added adjacencies in line with our purpose and our targeted financial profile. For example, we will strengthen our position in speciality pet food ingredients and enhance our wellbeing portfolio, focusing on energy, mental wellbeing, and women’s health. Additionally, we will expand our capabilities in premium biotech beauty actives and skincare solutions.
We will create a portfolio of iconic solutions to strengthen our market leadership. We will advance our sustainability profile and continue to build holistic offerings that provide consumer-relevant benefits in beauty, health, wellness, and nutrition. Finally, we will develop differentiating technologies, such as sustainable conversion, green chemistry, and biotechnology, while leveraging data and AI capabilities across our value chain, from innovation and consumer understanding to production and supply.
We will focus our digital initiatives on delivering maximum value through consumer insights, tailored customer experiences, and product superiority. By investing in next-generation operations, we will ensure competitive and reliable product supply and faster time to market, prioritising safety and sustainability. Additionally, we will leverage our resilient and effective supply chain as a key advantage for our business.
We will foster a sense of belonging by promoting inclusion, increasing transparency, and simplifying processes. By enhancing leadership and investing in specialist skills, we will build winning teams and create personal career growth opportunities. Our commitment to safety will drive us to achieve best-in-class environment, health, and safety standards. Additionally, through partnerships across our supply chains, we will enhance our business and positively impact nature and communities.
