Positive impact, everywhere
Our commitment to making a meaningful impact for the planet and the people who call it home isn’t just about necessity. With our size, reach, and science, it’s also our responsibility.
People. Planet. Progress.
We make a unique contribution to the world by combining the essential, the desirable, and the sustainable
For us, sustainability never stands on the sidelines
At dsm-firmenich, sustainability is a fundamental element of who we are and why we exist.
In fact, it’s deeply embedded in our purpose: we bring progress to life by combining the essential, the desirable, and the sustainable. Combining these three forces means sustainability never stands on its own – and it certainly never stands on the sidelines. Instead, it lives at the heart of what we do.
After all, healthy foods won’t change a thing if people don’t want to eat them. Sustainable solutions will only protect our world if they scale across our value chains. And if people don’t thrive at work, they can’t make a meaningful positive impact.
Through the combined power of the three forces, we address the challenges caused by growing populations, intensifying climate change, and rapid biodiversity loss. This is what sets dsm-firmenich apart from the rest – and what drives the progress we bring to people and planet.
