Responsible business

Balancing profit with purpose

Working hand-in-hand with our customers, we respond to changing consumer needs for products that support health and wellbeing yet also meet sustainability expectations and demand for greater transparency. Responsible business practices are fundamental to our values and create value for all stakeholders through our business activities and all along our value chain.

Our efforts to raise the bar in sustainability and ESG have been widely recognised externally. This includes our ESG risk rating by Sustainalytics which categorised the business as low-risk and amongst industry leaders with a ranking of 13 out of 539. It also includes

CDP double A rating for the fourth consecutive year for leadership in climate action and water stewardship, a gold EcoVadis medal, inclusion in the SXI Swiss Sustainability 25 index, inclusion in FTSE4Good Index Series ranking us in top 2% performers among peers, and in MSCI ESG AAA rating since 2017.

Sustainable performance is fundamentally important to our strategy and our funding strategy must therefore be aligned. In 2022, we organised our first sustainable-linked financing event with renewal of the Group Committed Credit Facility.
