With our pioneering Natureprint® technology, we analyze and recreate natural scents – even from ‘mute’ flowers – without harming a single petal. 🌸 Each tailor-made creation is a tribute to Mother Nature, blending science and innovation to push the boundaries of olfactive emotion.

The boundless creativity of dsm-firmenich perfumers will be on full display at Expo 2025 Osaka! 🌹 As a company with Swiss and Dutch roots, we’re making a scent-sational contribution to two pavilions at this global showcase of innovation. Our Perfumer Coralie Spicher is infusing the Swiss pavilion with signature scents, using diffusers to immerse visitors in the theme of various spaces. Her scent draws on her childhood memories growing up in Geneva, contrasting Switzerland’s “duality of pure air” with warm and earthy smells to evoke a “raw aspect of purity.” Incredible work! Meanwhile, the Dutch pavilion features 150 bottles of “New Dawn”, a limited-edition fragrance designed by our Master Perfumer, Wessel-jan Kos. Stored within iconic Delft porcelain blue bottles designed by Perfumery Maison Neuve (PMN), it’s a sensory celebration of progress. PMN built the first factory in the Delft area – now transformed by dsm-firmenich into an innovation ecosystem, Biotech Campus Delft. The perfect way to showcase the rich history of Dutch enterprise – and its brighter, sustainable future. 🌎 Expo 2025 Osaka runs from April 13 to October 13. Which pavilion would you most like to visit, and why? Let us know in the comments! #shapethefuture #webringprogresstolife #perfumery

🌍 Making (mal)nutrition everyone's business! 💡 Check out Katharina Stenholm and François Scheffler owning the outcome at last week's Nutrition For Growth (N4G) Summit in Paris.   Malnutrition impacts millions of lives globally – but progress is possible. Bringing together world leaders, policymakers, private sector representatives, and civil society organizations, the N4G Summit was all about accelerating real change through bold commitments, urgent action, and global collaboration.    During the summit, we were proud to announce our new partnership with MedAccess to secure stable and affordable pricing for Vitamin A in food fortification across low- and middle-income countries. Vitamin A is critical for public health, and this first-of-its-kind deal in nutrition exemplifies the innovative and collaborative solutions needed to tackle malnutrition. These global collaborations will be key to meeting our commitment: reaching 1 billion people by 2030 with solutions to address micronutrient deficiency.   At the end of N4G, participants reiterated their commitment to tackling all forms of malnutrition, with announcements including national food policies and bold commitments in the humanitarian and development spheres. The EU and its Member States committed €6.5 billion, including €3.4 billion from the European Commission, contributing to the international community's record-high US$27.55 billion to tackle malnutrition and ensure access to affordable and nutritious foods. Get the full details here: https://lnkd.in/ePxR3fNc   Through innovation, partnerships, and sustainable solutions, we're taking action to create a healthier future. From governments to businesses, NGOs to communities—everyone has a role to play in ending malnutrition. Let’s join forces and make nutrition a global priority! 🙌    #N4G #NutritionForGrowth #Sustainability #Innovation #DSMfirmenich #GlobalHealth #Malnutrition #CollaborativeSolutions #itallstartswithnutrition
