"Global consumer trends are not one story. Success comes from understanding very different consumer realities and creating solutions for all of them."

That's one of the perspectives CEO Christian Stammkoetter shares in a new interview with Finanz und Wirtschaft, following Givaudan's Summer Investor Conference.

The conversation explores his outsider perspective on the trends shaping the future of our industry, from innovation and AI to customer proximity, growth opportunities, and the realities facing consumers around the world.

Christian also discusses the role of science, creativity, and technology in driving innovation, supporting customers, and creating sustainable growth.

Givaudan Active Beauty's S3D® ReSense has been awarded 1st place at in the category “Applied Concepts”.

With age, skin loses not only its firmness and elasticity, but also some of its ability to perceive touch. S3D® ReSense, featuring PrimalHyal™ NeuroYouth, reawakens this essential sensory dimension, helping skin feel alive, responsive and deeply connected.

This award is a wonderful recognition of the science, creativity and collaboration behind this innovation.

A look back at our 2026 Staff Party at our headquarters in Vernier, Switzerland 🎉

Late August, teams came together for an evening on the theme of summer guinguette and grillades. The sun was out, and everyone enjoyed outdoor games before the evening turned into dancing, with a live saxophonist, singer and DJ carrying the night 🎷

Thank you to everyone who joined — your energy made it a great evening.

Wishing you all a smooth start to the new season 🍂

We’re supporting communities across western and central Colombia affected by the devastating earthquake that struck on 10 August 2026.

Through the Givaudan Humanitarian Fund, we have donated CHF 100,000 to support relief and recovery efforts. The donation will be channelled through Save the Children Switzerland to help provide integrated education, protection, health and mental health support to children and families affected by the earthquake.

As recovery efforts continue, our thoughts remain with everyone affected by this tragedy, and we recognise the dedication of the humanitarian teams and volunteers working tirelessly to support communities on the ground.

On International Equal Pay Day, we reaffirm a simple principle: people should be rewarded fairly for the work they do.

At Givaudan, FairONPay certification is a must-have in our commitment to fair and transparent pay, with recognition aligned with Equal Pay International Coalition (EPIC) standards. Since achieving certification across all our Swiss sites in 2021, we have added 15 country certifications, now covering 88% of our people, and we are working towards 100% of eligible sites.

Our commitment goes beyond certification. Through structured, gender-neutral pay reviews, gender pay gap reporting and public reporting, we continue to strengthen transparency, accountability and fairness.

Because equal pay is not a one-time achievement. It requires continued attention and action to maintain a culture where our people are recognised and rewarded fairly.
