According to the preliminary situation report published by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the earthquakes have affected communities across at least seven states, with La Guaira remaining the most affected area. The disaster has resulted in the loss of at least 5,300 lives and injuries to more than 16,700 people. It has also caused widespread destruction of homes and businesses, severe damage to hospitals and critical infrastructure, and the displacement of more than 17,900 people who lost their homes.
Givaudan’s Humanitarian Fund was launched in December 2024 with a donation of CHF 100,000 to support flood-hit communities in Valencia, Spain. It builds on a legacy of donation and 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. To date the fund has provided a total of CHF 650,000 to support communities around the world dealing with the impacts of disasters such as earthquakes, cyclones and flooding.
