Symrise uses the international standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for reporting on its non-financial and sustainability-related performance. The following sustainability record systematically presents all topics and disclosures deemed material by Symrise regarding its profile as well as its business, environmental and social performance for the 2021 fiscal year. Informational briefs on the individual GRI items are supplemented with interactive links. These links will take you to additional information, data and facts. This Sustainability Record complies with the standards (2016) of the Global Reporting Initiative as well as the standards on tax (207, 2019), water and effluents (303, 2018), waste (306, 2020) and occupational health and safety (403, 2018). The corresponding version of the standard is reported separately for each topic in the form of a respective annual figure. The Sustainability Record was prepared for the 2022 fiscal year in accordance with the GRI standards: Comprehensive option. It also contains our separate non-financial report in accordance with Section 289b (3) of the German Commercial Code (HGB). An overview of the related topics can be found here. Symrise also prominently highlights its climate-related reporting via a TCFD index that precedes the GRI record, with references to detailed information about this topic as part of the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire at Symrise. An additional index at the beginning of the report also refers to the reporting requirements covered by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). For the first time, Principal Adverse Impact indicators in line with the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) are reported for the past fiscal year. An SFDR index preceding the GRI record refers to the reporting places that answer SFDR requirements.
