IFF Cares

This is not food-related, at least not directly, but we wanted to share some news. 

After the earthquake in Haiti struck in January, IFF took up a collection globally.  The total, including employee and corporate contributions, was over $118,000.00, all of which is going to the Red Cross in support of their continuing relief efforts in Haiti. 

We've done this in the past -- when Jakarta was flooded in early 2007, many of our people there lost their homes.  The money we collected went straight to our site there for distribution to our impacted colleagues.  The 2008 earthquake in China, which deeply affected our colleagues there and all over the IFF world, brought a similar outpouring of generosity.

We talk a lot about the spirit and passion of our people as it relates to the work we do every day, but we think it speaks volumes that our people are also kind, generous, and compassionate.
