Holzminden (euro adhoc) - December 10, 2012 - Winner in the
"Germany's Most Sustainable Initiatives" category - Commitment to
vanilla farming and farmers in Madagascar impresses jury -
Recognition for Symrise's strategy of sustainable development

Symrise AG has won the German Sustainability Award 2012 in the
"Germany's Most Sustainable Initiatives" category. The company
impressed the jury with its approach to the sustainable procurement
of vanilla in Madagascar. Symrise works directly with more than 1,000
vanilla farmers in Madagascar, taking an active role in supporting
village communities, while processing vanilla locally. The award
underlines Symrise's leadership in taking on entrepreneurial, social
and environmental responsibility.

Now in its fifth year, the German Sustainability Award Foundation
recognizes companies which take on a special degree of responsibility
and combine economic success with social responsibility and
environmental protection in an exemplary manner. At a festive
ceremony in Düsseldorf on Friday evening, Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Bertram,
CEO of Symrise AG, accepted the award for "Germany's Most Sustainable
Initiative" from Andreas Jung, Member of the German Parliament and
Chairman of the Parliamentary Advisory Council on Sustainable
Development.

"Receiving the German Sustainability Award fills us with enormous
pride. It is a significant recognition of our sustainability efforts
and particularly of our team in Madagascar, who support the local
farmers there on a daily basis," explained Dr. Bertram. "With the
socially and environmentally responsible procurement of vanilla, we
have developed a sustainable model of success. Our goal is to create
added value - for Symrise, our customers, and other stakeholders
associated with our company, such as local partners and suppliers.
With this initiative, we have achieved this goal."

Commitment to Sustainability in Madagascar

Symrise has continually expanded its activities in Madagascar over
the years as part of its strategy of sustainable development. As the
entire procurement process takes place locally, from cultivation and
harvesting, to the fermentation of the beans, all the way through to
extraction, the company makes a notable contribution to local value
creation. Today, Symrise is one of the largest buyers of this spice
in Madagascar and the only company in its industry with this kind of
comprehensive approach.

To ensure that its projects in the areas of environmental protection,
income diversification, nutrition, health and education continue to
blossom over the long term, Symrise works with a network of qualified
partners, including international development organizations, NGOs and
local farmers' associations.

This type of commitment pays off. Symrise also benefits from this
partnership. It receives reliable access to high-quality raw
materials and offers its customers added value in a product that
enjoys a high level of international demand. Heinz-Jürgen Bertram
adds: "For us, sustainability and business success go hand in hand.
This kind of approach can only succeed though if one thinks and plans
for the long-term. That is why our commitment in Madagascar will
continue to grow."
