Group finance, investor relations, auditing, legal affairs, product<br />
safety and sustainability (CSR) and personnel. The staff of all corporate<br />
center functions work closely with the two divisions.<br />
Other supporting functions such as information technology and<br />
corporate communication are either outsourced to external service<br />
providers or bundled in separate Group companies that have<br />
full responsibility for their results and access to third-party clients.<br />
The latter applies to the areas of technology, energy, safety, environmental<br />
issues and logistics.<br />
The Scent & Care and Flavor & Nutrition divisions have responsibility<br />
for and control of their operating business and its<br />
processes. As “companies within a company,” they have their own<br />
research and development, purchasing, production and quality<br />
control as well as marketing and sales. This approach guarantees<br />
that the divisions have comprehensive control of their business<br />
and business processes, and it speeds up handling of internal<br />
processes.<br />
