Tobias Erfurth
Thank you very much [indiscernible] and welcome to everybody in the call or in the live stream to our Presentation of the Results of 2023. How nice to have you in the meeting. We published all related documents on our web page this morning in the section Financial Results where you probably entered the live stream to this meeting.
With me today are Heinz-Jurgen Bertram, our CEO; Olaf Klinger our CFO; and Jean-Yves Parisot, our President for Taste Nutrition & Health and incoming CEO. After the review of 2023 numbers and the outlook for 2024, we will open the lines for your questions.
With this, I hand over to Heinz-Jurgen Bertram. Please go ahead.
Heinz-Jurgen Bertram
Thank you, Tobias. Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome also from my side. I am delighted that so many of you have taken the time to join our call today.
As usual, I will highlight the results of 2023. Olaf will provide a deep dive into the financials and I conclude with our key strategic initiatives and an outlook for the road ahead.
Before we look at the numbers, I would like to take the opportunity to address some personal words. Last week, we announced the CEO change in our company. I will step down from the CEO position effective March 31st. This is based on a very close alignment and by mutual agreement with our Advisory Board. And I will step down. And I think after 15 years as CEO, it's now a good time for such a change.
Jean-Yves Parisot, our President, Taste Nutrition & Health and Member of the Symrise Executive Board, will take over as CEO. Jean-Yves was appointed by the Supervisory Board on February 29th and I am delighted that he is also here with us today. We will come back to the CEO change later in this call....
