Our commitment to ESG principles remains stronger than ever, positioning us as leaders in sustainable practices.
At Givaudan, sustainability is not just a goal; it reflects our dedication to protecting the planet, supporting our colleagues, serving our customers and consumers, and ensuring the long-term resilience and success of our business.
We continue to strengthen our climate-related disclosures. In response to new Swiss regulations, we have included our first Climate-related Financial Disclosure, aligned with TCFD recommendations, in our integrated report. This includes a comprehensive climate scenario analysis.
We have also initiated efforts regarding the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, and these ongoing measures demonstrate our strong dedication to sustainability and responsible practices.
Additionally, we continue to report on human rights in accordance with global standards in our workplace and supply chains. In 2024, we reaffirmed our support for the UN Global Compact, the UN to building a positive work environment that prioritises wellbeing, career development, and collaboration.
The safety and wellbeing of our workforce remain our highest priority. Tragically, in 2024, an explosion at our Louisville, USA, facility claimed the lives of two colleagues and injured 11 others. This tragedy has reinforced our resolve to heighten safety awareness and strengthen measures to ensure the protection of our employees.
Our thoughts remain with the families, friends, and colleagues affected by this heartbreaking event. Looking ahead, we remain focused on our mission of improving lives globally while caring for the wellbeing of our employees, supporting our communities, and safeguarding the environment. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our colleagues, customers, partners, and suppliers for their unwavering commitment and collaboration. Together, we will continue to drive meaningful progress.

Our sustainability milestones
Our sustainability milestones in 2024 gave us many reasons to celebrate. We achieved our 2025 target ahead of schedule by transitioning 100% of our electricity supply to renewable sources and reached our 2030 water efficiency goal, achieving a 27% reduction in water withdrawal rates at sites in water-stressed areas.
Our people remain at the heart of our success, and we are steadfast in fostering a balanced and inclusive workplace. To this end, we continue to promote pay equity and actively address unconscious bias. Our commitment to inclusion extends to building a positive work environment that prioritises wellbeing, career development, and collaboration.
