Donation will support work of the Red Cross in the region
Givaudan has today announced a new donation of CHF 100,000 to support emergency relief and early recovery efforts in Myanmar and Thailand following the devastating earthquake on 28 March 2025.
The donation will be made via the Swiss Red Cross through Givaudan’s humanitarian fund, which provides financial support during major crises like natural disasters, pandemics, and conflict in areas where the Company is present. A donation-matching initiative through Givaudan Singapore will aim to raise additional funds to complement this donation.
“The situation in Myanmar and Thailand is devastating and particularly urgent, due to the severe infrastructure damage and extreme weather conditions which have further exacerbated the impacts. The work of expert agencies such as the Red Cross is vital in delivering essential, life-saving support. We extend our heartfelt sympathies and condolences to all those who have been and who continue to be affected by these tragic events.”
Simon Halle-Smith, Head of Global Human Resources and EHS
Givaudan’s humanitarian fund was launched in December 2024 with a donation of CHF 100,000 to support flood-hit communities in Valencia, Spain and most recently a donation of CHF 50,000 to support flood relief efforts in Malaysia. It builds on a legacy of donation including through Givaudan’s COVID community fund and donations in response to the Ukraine war and earthquakes in Turkey and Morocco. The fund is aligned to Givaudan’s ambition to improve the lives of millions of people in the communities where the Company sources and operates by 2030.
