dsm-firmenich is a Swiss company, with dual headquarters in Kaiseraugst (Switzerland) and Maastricht (the Netherlands) and three consumer-focused businesses – Perfumery & Beauty, Taste, Texture & Health and Health, Nutrition & Care.
dsm-firmenich offers an unmatched portfolio and a unique business model—exceptionally combining what is essential, desirable, and sustainable. As innovators in nutrition, health and beauty we create an entirely new category, a unique space enabled by our ability to blend creativity, science, and innovation. This is how we accelerate progress for people and the planet.
At dsm-firmenich, sustainability is a fundamental element of who we are and why we exist. It is a value driver of our business.
In fact, it’s deeply embedded in our purpose: we bring progress to life by combining the essential, the desirable, and the sustainable. Combining these three forces means sustainability never stands on its own – and it certainly never stands on the sidelines. Instead, it lives at the heart of what we do.
After all, healthy foods won’t change a thing if people don’t want to eat them. Sustainable solutions will only protect our world if they scale across our value chains. And if people don’t thrive at work, they can’t make a meaningful positive impact.
Through the combined power of the three forces, we address the challenges caused by growing populations, intensifying climate change, and rapid biodiversity loss. This is what sets dsm-firmenich apart from the rest – and what drives the progress we bring to people and the planet.
Built on the outstanding work of our legacy organizations, our complementary businesses deliver world-leading, sustainable solutions – making us the leading end-to-end partner in nutrition, health, and beauty, and making life brighter for billions of people worldwide. Underpinning these three businesses is a strong foundation of safety and quality across a worldwide manufacturing network, our vertically integrated portfolio of nutritional, natural, and renewable ingredients, and our groundbreaking science and cutting-edge technologies.
Our focus is on high-growth, high-margin product groups and we aim to outpace the market by growing our divisions and leveraging merger synergies.
