Firmenich announces EcoIngredient Compass, a new proprietary tool that offers customers an immediate assessment of The Group’s fragrance molecules through the lens of green chemistry. Increasing transparency to drive sustainable creation, EcoIngredient Compass provides unique insights into the renewability, biodegradability and green chemistry properties of Firmenich’s iconic perfumery ingredients.
Parameters Assessed by EcoIngredient Compass
The EcoIngredient Compass analyzes and scores an ingredient in the following three areas:
- Renewable Carbon
- Biodegradability
- Green Chemistry
Firmenich is including these three parameters in its Ingredients sales catalogue for all its fragrance molecules.
“
Driven by the growing trend for more sustainable lifestyles, consumers are demanding to know what is inside their product,” said Julien Firmenich, VP Product Strategy and Promotion. “
EcoIngredient Compass is a breakthrough in ingredients transparency, as it gives our customers the sustainability information that they need to shape products that have a lasting positive impact.”
Producing Ingredients with Minimal Impact on Nature
Firmenich’s unique and high-performing molecules cover all olfactive families and have long inspired the company’s creators and contributed to the success of its customers. With the creation of EcoIngredient Compass that focuses on sustainability and transparency, the Group is reinforcing its leadership in white biotechnology and green chemistry – the development and production of ingredients with minimal impact on nature and people.
