The global company for aromas, fragrances, and ingredients for cosmetics, food, and personal care, Symrise, has presented its new digital tool for tracking CO₂ emissions at the COP30 climate summit, held in Belém (Brazil): the Houston platform. This technological solution will allow for the measurement of the carbon footprint at both product and corporate levels, a clear commitment to transparency, traceability, and decarbonization.
During the "The Essence of Carbon" session, organized within the framework of COP30 alongside its technological partner CO2 AI, Symrise showcased how Houston provides real-time data on emissions, enables the prioritization of high-impact interventions, and ensures regulatory compliance, becoming a "scalable and credible solution" for reducing the environmental footprint across the entire value chain.
But Symrise's commitment to sustainability goes beyond its carbon footprint: the company has taken on the co-chairmanship of the Sustainable Business Bioeconomy Working Group, reaffirming its commitment to the bioeconomy. In this global forum, the firm advocates for solutions that link climate action, biodiversity, and social progress, promoting practices such as inclusive sourcing, circular supply chains, respect for ecosystems, and community development
In addition, Symrise participates in international dialogues, such as the "Bridging the Gap" program with the German organization BMZ/GIZ, which seeks to promote sustainable economic development models, especially for Amazonian communities, combining responsible trade, environmental protection, and social justice.
This move positions Symrise as a benchmark within the world of cosmetic and personal care ingredients, a sector in full transformation, demonstrating that integrating digital innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility can also be a business driver with a future.
