L’instant Ingredients by IES Celebrates Its First Anniversary with an Episode Dedicated to CSR
One year ago, IES Ingredients launched L’instant Ingredients by IES, a podcast created to give a voice to experts from the fragrance, cosmetics and flavour industries.
Through each episode, IES Ingredients explores the key challenges, developments and initiatives shaping these sectors. To celebrate the podcast’s first anniversary, IES Ingredients is releasing its fourth episode, dedicated to a topic that has become essential for companies: Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR.
Sustainability at the Heart of Ingredient Distribution
How can a B2B ingredient distributor help advance sustainability in its day-to-day activities?
The role of a distributor goes beyond simply connecting suppliers and customers. Every interaction can become a meaningful driver of impact, from selecting suppliers and working with carriers and service providers to supporting customers and engaging employees.
A CSR approach therefore extends across the entire value chain. It encourages companies to rethink their practices, strengthen their commitments and build more responsible relationships with all their stakeholders.
A Conversation with Christophe Mangalte, Group CSR & Quality Manager at API Group
To discuss these challenges, IES Ingredients welcomes Christophe Mangalte, Group CSR & Quality Manager at API Group, of which IES Ingredients is a member.
Throughout the conversation, Christophe Mangalte explains how sustainability can be practically integrated into the role of a distributor. The episode highlights the essential role played by relationships with suppliers, carriers, customers, service providers and employees.
The aim is to demonstrate that sustainability is also built through everyday decisions and actions.
Episode 4: “Distribution and Sustainability: A Perfect Match!”
This fourth episode, entitled “Distribution and Sustainability: A Perfect Match!”, invites listeners to discover how IES Ingredients places CSR at the heart of its business and turns its professional interactions into opportunities to act more responsibly.
This episode provides a better understanding of the challenges surrounding sustainable distribution and explores how every participant in the value chain can contribute to a more responsible approach.
