For the first time in Asia, we presented the full breadth of our innovation at the Swiss Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka – spanning Perfumery & Beauty, Taste, Texture & Health, and Health, Nutrition & Care. 🌟 At the Swiss Pavilion, dsm-firmenich COO Emmanuel Butstraen and Swiss Ambassador Roger Dubach were present to experience the showcase. From fragrances crafted specially for the Swiss Pavilion to sustainable solutions rooted in eco-design, from plant-based oat lattes and non-alcoholic beer concepts to science-backed health solutions in sprinkle and jelly formats, we demonstrated how innovation can bring together the essential, the desirable, and the sustainable. With a legacy in Japan that spans over five decades, we’re continually inspired by the country’s dedication to quality, kaizen, and preventative health. This showcase reflects not just our heritage, but our belief that Japan is a launchpad for innovations that can scale across Asia and beyond. 👏 #webringprogresstolife #Expo2025

This International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT), we stand together with our LGBTQIA+ communities. 🌈 Progress comes to life when people feel safe, seen, and supported. That's why we foster a workplace where everyone can bring their whole selves to work, free from discrimination, bias, and barriers. This year's IDAHOBIT theme, "The power of communities," reminds us that real change happens when we unite – as colleagues, allies, and advocates – to stand up for fairness, equality and human rights. We're proudly turning our values into action by: 🔹 Embedding LGBTQIA+ inclusion into our global policies. 🔹 Implementing training for a respectful and inclusive workplace for all. 🔹 Supporting our ‘Be You’ Employee Resource Group and its year-round initiatives. 🔹 Encouraging everyday allyship – through listening, learning, and speaking up.
