Givaudan shares fell 0.51% in after-hours trading on September 29, 2026, to EUR 3,612.00. The company also announced that its Product Carbon Footprint program received dual certification from TÜV SÜD under the Together for Sustainability framework and in line with WBCSD's Partnership for Carbon Transparency. The program covers more than 90,000 products. The certification adds independent verification to Givaudan's carbon accounting method, which could matter for buyers looking at Scope 3 emissions. The company also reported first-half 2026 sales of CHF 3,799 million, up 3.6% like-for-like, with adjusted EBITDA margin at 24.3%. Next milestones include nine-month sales on October 13, 2026.

Product carbon footprint certification for 90k products is a decent step, but the real test is whether they actually use it to cut emissions or just report them. Any word on reduction targets?

Good point. The Together for Sustainability framework is mostly about verification, not reduction. It sets a baseline but doesn't force a trajectory. Still, having a verified method across that many SKUs makes it easier to compare suppliers later.

That TÜV SÜD certification is worth noting because it adds third-party credibility. But the stock move is barely related to that. The half-year numbers matter more for investors here.

Agree. The carbon program is a side note for the share price. Still, for anyone tracking corporate climate action, this is a data point. The 90k product coverage is broad, so it might move their procurement decisions.
