Insights into Symrise's Energy Renewability
In 2023, Symrise consumed a total of 6.64 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 24.49% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 75.51% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.
Symrise's Energy Renewability Rate
How much of Symrise's energy consumed is renewable?
In 2023, Symrise consumed a total of 6.64 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 24.49% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.
This low level of renewable energy use highlights a heavy reliance on fossil fuels or other non-renewable sources, suggesting that Symrise has considerable room to improve its energy sustainability strategy.
Are Symrise's energy practices becoming more sustainable?
Since 2020, Symrise's total energy consumption decreased by 8.04%, including a further 6.58% drop in 2023, highlighting a continued decline in energy use.
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy increased by 67.99%, but declined by 2.86% in 2023, suggesting recent volatility or sourcing constraints.
Overall, Symrise’s energy trends reveal a complex picture, with variations in total consumption and renewable sourcing. A closer examination of operational drivers and sourcing strategies is needed to fully assess the company’s environmental impact.

What are the main sources and generation technologies behind Symrise's energy consumption?
In 2023, Symrise's total energy consumption was primarily sourced from
- Natural Gas (69.43%)
- Electricity (Unspecified Source) and Steam (Unspecified Source) (18.31%)
- Biogas, Biomass, Hydrogen and Other Sources (6.17%)
How diverse is Symrise’s energy consumption mix?
In 2023, Symrise consumed energy from 6 different sources or generation technologies, indicating a moderately diverse energy mix, with some concentration in a primary source.
Insights into Symrise's Energy Inflows & Self-Sufficiency
In 2023, Symrise reported total energy inflows of 1.22 million Gigajoules, which corresponds to the company's full energy needs, including energy consumed, redistributed, sold, or stored. This energy inflow was composed of 1.1 million Gigajoules purchased from external suppliers and 113,925.6 Gigajoules generated through internal production. This corresponds to a production share of 9.37%, reflecting a 414.61% percentage point decrease from the previous year (2022) and a 936.84% percentage point increase since 2020.
Despite a recent dip in the production share, Symrise has significantly increased its reliance on internally generated energy over the long term. The short-term decline may be due to temporary disruptions, shifts in output demand, or adjustments in procurement strategy, rather than a reversal of its overall trend.
