Together with Herve Pierini, Pierre Ruch, and Thomas Dubouchet, we were delighted to visit our JV partner Nelixia in Latin America and explore the cardamom, styrax supply chains, as well as the Peru balsam renowned for its unique ancestral knowhow. At source, the Nelixia teams are doing outstanding work, actively contributing to responsible perfumery through transparency, traceability, sustainable practices, and exceptional, high-quality natural ingredients. Strengthening our network of strategic, trusted partners at origin is a cornerstone of our Naturals strategy. Together with them, we are committed to scaling best practices, accelerating innovation, and generating positive impact - for our Group, for our industry, and for the local communities who make it all possible. A sincere thank you to Elisa Aragon and Jean-Marie Maizener for their inspiring and long-term vision, dedication and warm welcome. NELIXIA dsm-firmenich Perfumery & Ingredients
