IOFI Launches Public Consultation on Its Scope 3 Project
Oct 21, 2024
We are pleased to announce that the International Organization of the Flavor Industry (IOFI) will be launching a public consultation period for its Scope 3 Emission Factors Repository. The consultation period will run from mid-November to mid-December 2024 (four weeks). This initiative is part of IOFI's continued commitment to sustainability through an open and transparent process, with the goal of refining and finalizing the repository with valuable feedback from stakeholders across the entire flavor industry value chain. IOFI/Quantis will evaluate the feedback before the release of the Scope 3 Emission Factors Repository.
Through IOFI, we harness industry resources to support the organization’s strategic mission. We work together diligently to ensure safe products for our customers and consumers. Taken together, our efforts pave the way for innovation and provide a smooth road for the global trade of flavorings.

Global Reference List
The IOFI Global Reference List (GRL) is a compendium of flavoring materials that are considered to be safe for their intended use by one or more internationally recognized assessment bodies. The GRL follows the definitions of materials appropriate for the formulation of flavorings in the IOFI Code of Practice.
The IOFI Code of Practice is a comprehensive document that demonstrates the commitment of IOFI and its members to produce flavor ingredients that are safe for their intended use. The Code of Practice is acknowledged by all member associations and their member companies. Available to all stakeholders, the Code of Practice includes guidelines for the manufacture, handling and use of materials for flavor applications.
