IFF-LMR Naturals has achieved the IMO
(Institute for Marketecology) For Life Social Responsibility certification in
recognition of the company's sustainability commitments. Factors that impact
certification include environmental responsibility, fair working conditions,
transparency and community relations.
In addition to LMR receiving
this certification, its agricultural and processing partner in Isparta, Turkey,
received For Life certification relating to LMR’s Turkish rose supply chain. For
Life certification confirms that LMR and its partner in Turkey are committed to
acting as responsible employers and promoters of sustainable practices.
'Sustainability is an integral part of our business strategy and a key
differentiator for IFF,' said Andreas Fibig, IFF chairman and CEO. 'We have made
significant progress in executing and expanding our sustainability initiatives
during the past year alone, including opening the largest solar field in the
flavors and fragrances industry, inclusion in the CDP Climate Disclosure
Leadership and now, the For Life Social Responsibility certification from
IMO.'
Nicolas Mirzayantz, IFF group president fragrances and
executive sustainability champion, added, 'Rose is at the heart of every
perfumer’s catalog and LMR has been working closely with its partner in Turkey
to bring the purest, highest quality rose products to perfumers for more than
ten years. Our longstanding commitment to strengthening sustainability within
our customers’ supply chains was taken to a higher level with the introduction
of this third-party certification by IMO.'
