What we believe in

Integrity

Integrity

Our commitment to greater integrity and accuracy in the sciences of food and health starts with our own operations – that’s why we demonstrate openness, honesty and fairness in everything we do.

Independence

Independence

IFIS always operates impartially and without influence; our only motivation is providing access to trustworthy food and health information.

Responsiveness

Responsiveness

Fuelled by technological innovation, the needs of our users, staff and other stakeholders are always evolving – it’s our responsibility to adapt to meet those needs.

Quality

Quality

Our dedication to consistently delivering excellence runs through every element of IFIS, from the sources and tech powering our services, to the support and training we provide.

Accessibility

Accessibility

In areas where access to our resources would otherwise be limited, we provide free or low-cost use of our services, because nobody should be excluded from exploring trustworthy and relevant food information due to their location.

Our commitment to sustainability 

We are a signatory to the SDG Publishers Compact. The SDG Publishers Compact is a United Nations initiative that was launched in 2020 in collaboration with the International Publishers Association. It aims to accelerate progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

Having signed the Compact, we are now using the SDG framework to develop a range of sustainable working practices.

In August 2021, we were delighted to receive an EcoVadis Gold Medal sustainability rating following an assessment of our policies, practices and measures on the environment, labour and human rights, and ethics. We're passionate about continuing this work and want to keep pushing to achieve a more sustainable working environment.
