Questionnaire

---

The IFRA-IOFI Sustainability Initiative is voluntary and non-binding, and both Associations want to emphasize the non-compulsory nature of the project. 

Each company is involved because it is convinced that anchoring sustainability within business strategies is crucial for a prosperous and viable future. 

This questionnaire is about striking a balance: we want to collect accurate information from each participant but do not want to impose external verification or control mechanisms, nor to assess or benchmark the performance of individual companies.

The questionnaire has five sections that relate to the five focus areas of the Sustainability Initiative - click the titles below to read fuller explanations and a summary of commitments:
 

1. Promote the responsible sourcing of all raw materials (renewable or fossil based), indirect materials and services throughout the value chain;
2. Contribute to climate change mitigation and continuously reduce the environmental footprint of our product portfolio;
3. Enhance a safe, attractive and rewarding workplace culture;
4. Be at the leading edge of product safety and design;
5. Be a transparent and reliable partner to our stakeholders and society.

Within each of the five sections, there is a similar structure and questions.

First, an overview of the agreed commitments and additional background information.

Second, a question on your company's overall strategy for this focus area. If you have an overall strategy in place, you will be asked for details such as whether your company engages in partnerships or collaborations with external key stakeholders.

Third, questions on progress against specific commitments relating to the focus area. 

With this 30-minute survey we seek to understand the state of play in the fragrance and flavor industries on the five focus areas of this joint initiative.
