“We will accept only fair and equitable labor conditions in our supply chain,” says Symrise exec 17 Mar 2021 --- Germany-headquartered Symrise joins the European Brands Association (AIM) in its global initiative AIM-Progress to unite consumer goods manufacturers with suppliers committed to ethical and sustainable supply chains. Speaking to FoodIngredientsFirst , Helmut Frieden, vice president of corporate sustainability explains how Symrise will accept only fair and equitable labor conditions in its supply chain. The move comes amid pressure from consumers and government alike to ensure more transparent and resilient supply chains. Last month, the German government reached an agreement to implement the Supply Chain Act, which will require companies to carry out due diligence regarding human rights and environmental issues along the supply chain from 2024.
