Contributing to excellence in the production of perfumes, cosmetics and flavours.
An engaged and responsible ecosystem.
IES Ingredients approaches CSR as a process of continuous improvement, carried out together with its suppliers and partners.
This approach covers a range of issues linked to our business, including environmental, social and ethical practices, and is gradually being built into our value chain. It aims to identify our impacts, improve our practices and bring our stakeholders along with us.
Since 2019, IES Ingredients has been a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, a commitment renewed every year.
Our approach is also assessed by EcoVadis. In 2026, IES Ingredients achieved a score of 89/100 and a Platinum medal for the fifth year running, placing it among the top 1% of companies assessed by EcoVadis.
Day to day, our employees help put this approach into practice and improve it, in line with the expectations of our customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
