Our Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) function regularly carries out comprehensive risk assessments at our production and major commercial sites. To facilitate the management of specific EHS risks, the team has developed visual risk portfolios that show mitigation measures and progress on improvement actions. The internal EHS auditing process was reviewed and adapted to cover also technical aspects besides the EHS Management System part.

Givaudan’s growth path of organic expansion and acquisitions inevitably involves some essential large-scale projects. EHS, as a full team member, is involved from the beginning of each project to assess and minimise risks. Our EHS teams support the design of all new building activities so that, in EHS terms, the plants we build today use learnings from the past and are fit for the future. In 2019, a number of new technologies for environmental protection in the area of odour emissions control were successfully tested on our sites.
