International Flavors & Fragrances Inc
- Board oversight
- Named executive owner
- Public alignment report
- Paris Agreement alignment
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. operates a governance framework whereby "our Vice President of Global Sustainability and EHS" and the "Sustainability Business Council, which is comprised of cross-functional business leaders," jointly review climate-related policy positions to ensure they "provide consistent alignment with our sustainability and business strategies." This structure extends beyond internal policy review to external advocacy, as council members "are also frequently our representatives on or liaisons with trade organizations," and "engage policymakers directly at a high level." IFF further commits to "monitor current and/or pending climate change legislation that may impact our business globally" through its participation in the WBCSD under CEO leadership, and local Green Team members feed insights back to the Eco-Effectiveness Leadership Team and ultimately to the Vice President of Global Sustainability and EHS. The company also confirms that it will conduct its "engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." However, we found no evidence of an externally published review of lobbying alignment or a board-level committee specifically overseeing the company's climate lobbying activities.
