• Evidence of constant development of activities
• Sustainability an integral part of the corporate strategy
Symrise received the bronze Econ Award for its Perspectives
2010 sustainability report. The awards ceremony took place
in November 2011 in the historic "Meistersaal" in the heart
of Berlin. The publication presents the focus of the
sustainability strategy, the measures resulting from it,
and highlights from the 2010 reporting year.
The concept of sustainability affects all areas of social
life. Symrise too combines environmental, social, and
economic aspects in its corporate strategy. This approach
is reflected in its current Perspectives 2010 report. It
clearly shows how strongly sustainable business is anchored
in its everyday operations. Because of this, the
publication received the bronze Econ Award in November
2011. The Econ Awards are considered the most renowned
prize in corporate communications and are conferred by the
Econ Verlag in Berlin and the Handelsblatt journal.
In granting the award, the jury stated: "The remarkable
report from Symrise AG contains fascinating stories that
really grab the readers' attention. Just by viewing the
table of contents, it was evident that this report was
clearly structured and well planned. It clearly shows how
Symrise met the various criteria for professional CSR
reporting outlined in the Global Reporting Initiative and
what strategy Symrise is pursuing." The jury holds to
strict criteria in making its selections. Of the 107
publications submitted, 28 received an award. In the
category sustainability/CSR reports, there were ten
candidates for the jury to choose from. Only three would go
home with an award.
"We are very pleased to have received the bronze Econ Award
for our sustainability report. Our Perspectives 2010 report
demonstrates our work to constantly develop our
activities," explains CEO Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Bertram.
"Sustainability is much more than just a trend - it has
become the basis of successful business and an integral
part of our corporate strategy." The publication
reported, for example, on the responsible procurement and
production of vanilla on site in Madagascar. Together with
the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ),
Symrise is committed to improving the living conditions of
the local vanilla farmers.
