Mission: Support the organization’s overall mission by ensuring sound science is reflected in our advocacy and industry positions and serving as subject matter experts on fragrance safety and science. • Identify the key technical and regulatory issues affecting IFRANA member companies and monitor and develop strategies for and act on such issues in the format of the full committee or through targeted sub-committees or task forces. • Communicate to and educate membership on issues of interest in the area of science and regulatory affairs. • Support and coordinate with other IFRANA committees on scientific or regulatory issues. • Liaise with technical experts within allied trade associations; collaborate on issues and positions, where necessary.

Chair: Kevin Renskers Vice President of Corporate Safety and Regulatory Affairs for Takasago International Corporation “I love the smell of pine. It reminds me of every wonderful Christmas I’ve ever had, as well as those times when, as a child, my father would take me with him to the lumberyard to get wood for some home improvement project.”

As Vice President of Corporate Safety & Regulatory Affairs, I’m fortunate to have a broad range of responsibilities within Takasago. This includes global responsibility for fragrance safety and compliance, the safety evaluation of all Takasago Aroma Ingredients, and support to Takasago’s global flavor business. In addition to my role with IFRANA, I have the privilege of participating in a number of external industry activities, including Chair of the RIFM Board of Directors, FEMA Board of Governors, and IOFI Science Board. One of my favorite quotes is from Warren Buffet, “…success is getting what you want, and happiness is wanting what you get.”
