Ingredients Celebrating Excellence: Fi Europe Innovation Awards Winners Unveiled Informa Markets is delighted to announce the winners of the prestigious Fi Europe Innovation Awards. Honored at a special ceremony during Fi Europe 2022 in Paris, France, the winners were chosen by an expert judging panel for their outstanding contributions to the food and beverage ingredients industry. The awards have proven to be real success accelerators for previous winners, and the caliber of entries this time was again outstanding. Julien Bonvallet, Informa Markets Group Brand Director, said: “Over the years Fi Europe has provided the industry with a platform to discover new alternatives and find solutions to overcome challenges. Once again, the quality of entries to the Fi Europe Innovation Awards was exceptionally high. This clearly shows that even – or especially – in challenging times, the ingredients industry continues to be both resilient and innovative, always findings ways to adapt to current market needs and driving initiatives that will shape a more sustainable food industry in the longer term.” Mr Bonvallet presented the Awards, alongside Chair of the judging panel Professor Colin Dennis (Chair of the Board of Trustees of IFIS and the British Nutrition Foundation), and other members of the Informa Markets management team to this year’s winners: • Food Training & Education Award (new for 2022): Mane (France) for its Food Development Training with flavorist students at ISIPCA, Paris, and future chefs at the Culinary Arts Academy in Switzerland. • Sustainability Innovation Award: Ofi (Singapore) for Cocoa Compass, a project that provides 100 per cent traceability for cocoa produced across nine countries, and makes sure that farmers earn a living wage, child labor is eliminated and the natural world is protected. • Diversity & Inclusion Innovation Award: Ingredion (USA) for its Women in Ingredion Business Resource Group. Established in December 2020 to empower women for an equal future, the group now has an inclusive network of members across EMEA, Asia-Pacific, North America and South America. 16

Luca Giannone, Senior Vice President of Sales, said: “We’ve focused on Europe as a promise to pioneer the new hero of sugar reduction – Bestevia Reb M – and we will continue to innovate and open doors to bring our wellness ingredient technologies to Europe for betterfor-you foods and beverages.” Virginia Clifford, Technical Service Manager, Ingredion, also spoke of a positive, more inclusive future, when she said: “I am thrilled and privileged to have been able to accept the Diversity & Inclusion Innovation award, and to be representing the EMEA chapter of our Women of Ingredion Business Resource Group.
