INTEGRATE GREEN CHEMISTRY INTO R&D

PRODUCTION OF NATURAL EXTRACTS AND SYNTHETIC MOLECULES WITH A GREEN MOTION™ RATING > 50%

Our commitment to sustainable innovation is to design safe and healthy products with a minimised environmental impact and maximised sensory benefits for the consumer. This entails innovation strategies involving the increased use of renewable and biodegradable raw materials with a low carbon footprint, or the recovery of industrial waste. It also involves improving our processes to eliminate or reduce the use of hazardous substances or the associated energy consumption. In 2021, we celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Flavour and Fragrance industry’s first environmental assessment tool. GREEN MOTION™ is based on the 12 principles of green chemistry introduced by P. Anastas and J. Warner. This tool, accessible to all and free of charge, is based on a comprehensive, transparent and multi-criteria approach. It can be used to calculate the overall environmental impact of an ingredient or a formula on a scale of 0 to 100. This simple and relevant method is based on a set of criteria grouped into seven fundamental concepts: E-factor, economy of atoms, mass yield of the chemical reaction, origin of raw materials, hazards and toxicity of reagents, type of solvents and manufactured products. Integrated via software into the perfumers and flavourists formulation tool, GREEN MOTION™ has become a veritable tool for improving our compositions in terms of their environmental footprint. The new application is available online upon registration: https://greenmotion.mane.com/login 84% OF NATURAL EXTRACTS AND SYNTHETIC MOLECULES HAVE A GREEN MOTION™ RATING > 50%

2030 TARGET

We have reached and exceeded our 2021 target of producing 80% of natural extracts and synthetic molecules with a GREEN MOTION™ score above 50%. Our new target for the year 2030 is to increase this figure to 90%.

In 2021, the Group invested 8% of its turnover in R&D activities.

To accelerate the transition from fossil carbon to renewable carbon, we joined the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) in 2021. This platform, at the crossroads of the chemical industries, aims to redefine the contours of renewable carbon in the long term, by considering carbon from biomass, but also from recycling and CO 2 captured from the atmosphere.
