Leadership letters
Calvin Grieder
Chairman of the Board of Directors
I am pleased to share that overall we delivered a solid business performance. It was a year where we faced a number of external challenges; from supply chain constraints, inflationary pressures and the impact of the war in Ukraine leading to higher energy prices. I am proud of how our teams around the world navigated this difficult external environment, and I’d like to express my thanks to our colleagues.
Gilles Andrier
Chief Executive Officer
We continued to deliver solid sales growth at 5.3%, which is testament to the strong relationships we have with our clients and our ability to deliver superior products that are loved by consumers. Overall, the business remained resilient and we made good progress on our 2025 strategic ambitions. I’d like to take the opportunity to express my thanks to all of my colleagues who contribute daily to the success of Givaudan.
