The extreme climate impacts we are seeing globally – from warmer temperatures to drought and rising sea levels – are contributing to unprecedented destruction of biodiversity and the loss of the natural resources on which we all depend. At dsm-firmenich, we increasingly view climate and nature as one interlinked topic, which is why we seek to develop the required solutions with an equally interlinked approach.
