Symrise is one of the world’s most successful manufacturers of fragranc­ es and flavors. Yet, we are always looking for new business fields and markets where we can apply and expand our strengths – and thereby separate ourselves from the com­ petition. A third of our business is already generated with cosmetic active ingredients and raw materials, functional ingredients, pet foods, aquacultures and probiotics. By con­ stantly forging new paths, we are ex­ panding our customer base, develop­ ing new customer benefits, advancing our business success and adding to our sustainability achievements. 2 — Our Company Magazine P. 18 The Fragrance of Forests P. 28 Partnership for Outstanding Products P. 30 Strategy: an Interview with Content Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Bertram P. 36 Everything’s Bananas!

Successfully Diversifying”, the motto of the 2016 Corporate Report, also harnesses this belief. Symrise is one of the most successful companies in the industry because we are willing to look beyond the classic areas of flavors and fragrances to find new areas of activity and mar- kets where we can utilize our strengths. Because of this, we have grown twice as fast as the rest of our market. On the one hand, we are expanding our custom- ary business units with innovations and new products. While on the other hand, we have also become stronger through business combinations, which in turn have redefined our portfolio and our structure. That Symrise often takes a different approach to things is clear from the articles in our magazine: How we sustainably extract scent molecules from natural by- products (see page 18). Why our employees visit banana plantations in Ecuador (see page 36). Or why Symrise keeps its own bees (see page 46). Striving for economic success is what drives us. The results for the 2016 fiscal year are presented in the summary of the Group management report and con- solidated financial statements. Sustainable business practices are an integral part of our corporate strategy and our business model. A comprehensive pic- ture of this is provided in an input-output model developed specifically for this report on page 9. As a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, we actively support the principles of responsible business outlined therein. 2016 was a successful year for Symrise, in which we could also celebrate ten years of being a publicly traded company. Our share has more than tripled its value since 2006. We are sticking to our medium-term goals until 2020: annual sales growth of 5 to 7 %, an EBITDA margin between 19 and 22 %. We are optimistic about the prospects for 2017. Symrise will continue to be successful – successfully different. We hope you enjoy reading the Symrise Corporate Report for 2016.

Beauty is a perceptual concept that grows with individuals of every society and culture. As we begin to understand what it means and grasp its dimensions, we learn to appreciate it and search for it in every facet of our lives. We also attempt to bring beauty into our daily lives by incorporating beautiful things into our surrounding environment and by trying to beautify our own appearance. Most women, men, and children have an innate desire to look and feel beautiful inside and out, and there is a certain harmony that often links inner and outer beauty and reflects the result to the outside. Each person defines and implements beauty in a different way, but despite the subjectivity, a huge platform remains common ground for most people in search of a more “beautiful” look.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The ‘discovery of the world’ has been a stereotypical focus of human geography. However, the research helped me to discover a new world for myself. The fragrance industry delineates a rich landscape of sensorial stimulations. I appreciated not only the experience of smelling perfumes in different environments and the ‘look behind the scenes’ but the diversity of approaches to perfumery in this artistic industry. Therefore, my first ‘thank you’ goes to the industry experts that spend their precious time with me and opened their doors for me in France, Germany, and the United States. Thank you very much for introducing me to a world that you experience, develop, and change every day. Second, a dissertation is a long journey. This one has seen different companions until it came into being. It developed quite a bit over time. My friends in the United States and in Germany contributed through their critique, mental support, active interest, questions, guidance, and feedback. Thus, the second ‘thank you’ goes to all companions.

    5/15/2017 The Art and Olfaction Awards à Berlin, les nouveaux horizons de l'art olfactif - Nez, la revue olfactive The Art and Olfaction Awards in Berlin, the new horizons of art olfactory Jeanne Doré 2 reviews (http://www.nez-larevue.fr/notre-actu/the-art-and-olfaction-awards-a-berlin-nouveaux-horizons-de-lart-olfactif/#comments) 12 May 2017 Berlin is a human, warm and inspiring city. It is for this reason that Saskia Wilson-Brown, founder of the (http://artandolfaction.com/) Los Angeles-based Institute of Art & Olfaction (http://artandolfaction.com/) , and Awards (http://www.artandolfactionawards.org/2017awards/) of the same name, decided that the fourth award ceremony will be held this year in this city. Because an event that declares itself international and which wishes to bring together the authors of artistic perfumery from all over the world could not really be conned to the west coast of the United States and we were the rst to be delighted to be able to attend rst time. Thursday 4 May Our ight Paris Orly-Berlin Schönefeld is already olfactory, invaded by the body uids swollen with hormones of a class of high school students as excited and noisy as it is sparkling. On the Alexander Platz U-Bahn quay, it is a currywurst aroma that welcomes us, and reminds us that in Berlin one can calm its hunger at any time, anywhere. On arrival in Mitte, the city is bathed by a cold, tight drizzle, which does not prevent us from going to dinner in a Vietnamese canteen of the district with the scents of phở, frankincense and urinal.
