Exhibit 10.1

CO-OPERATION AGREEMENT

This Co-Operation Agreement (“Agreement”), dated March 7, 2021, is by and between International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), and Sachem Head Capital Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Investor”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in paragraph 14 below.

1. Option to Designate Investor Designee. In the event that, between September 10, 2021 and December 31, 2021, the Investor requests in writing that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) take the actions specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph 1, then as promptly as practicable following such request: (i) the Board will promptly (and in no event later than five days following delivery of such written request) elect Scott Ferguson as a director, or if Scott Ferguson is not affiliated with the Investor, then one director to be designated by the Investor and approved by the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (Scott Ferguson or, if applicable, such other director, the “Investor Designee”, and the date of such election, the “Effective Date”) and (ii) the Board shall take such actions as are necessary to increase the size of the Board by one (1) directorship and elect the Investor Designee to fill the vacancy so created. The Investor Designee shall be required to qualify as Independent and satisfy the Board membership criteria set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. If the Investor does not exercise its right to request a Board seat between September 10, 2021 and December 31, 2021, then there will be no Investor Designee or Effective Date for purposes of this Agreement.

2. Investor Designee Agreements, Arrangements and Understandings. If the Investor Designee is not an officer, director, partner or employee of the Investor, then the Investor agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates (a) will pay any compensation to the Investor Designee regarding such Person’s service on the Board or any committee thereof or (b) will have any agreement, arrangement or understanding, written or oral, with the Investor Designee regarding such Person’s service on the Board or any committee thereof (including without limitation pursuant to which such Person will be compensated for his or her service as a director on the Board or any committee thereof). The Company agrees and acknowledges that the payment by the Investor of compensation to the Investor Designee or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding with the Investor Designee on or prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with his or her potential nomination by the Investor as a director for election to the Board shall not be deemed a violation of this paragraph 2.

3. 2022 Annual Meeting. Subject to the Investor Designee’s consent to serve and assuming the Effective Date has occurred, the Company shall include the Investor Designee on its slate for election as director at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

4. Investor Designee Information. The Investor Designee shall, in connection with his or her election to the Board and the subsequent nomination for election as a director at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, provide the Company any information required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing under applicable law, stock exchange rules or listing standards, information reasonably requested in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors or satisfying compliance and legal obligations, and will consent to appropriate background checks, to the extent, in each case, consistent with the information and background checks required by the Company in accordance with past practice with respect to other members of the Board. If, following the completion of the Company’s initial background review process, the Board learns that the Investor Designee has committed, been indicted or charged with, or made a plea of nolo contendre to a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud or any act of serious dishonesty, or conduct which could reasonably be expected to cause harm to the Company’s business or reputation, or to the Investor Designee’s ability to perform his or her duties, then the Board may request that the Investor Designee submit his resignation and, in such case, the Investor will cause the Investor Designee to resign from the Board and may select a replacement designee reasonably acceptable to the Board. The onboarding of any Investor Designee will be through a reasonable and customary process no more onerous, burdensome or time consuming than the process for onboarding any other director to the Board, and there will be no procedure, policy or other obstacle implemented with the intent or effect of prejudicing an Investor Designee’s ability to timely join the Board.

5. Company Recommendations at Annual Meetings. In connection with the 2022 Annual Meeting (and any adjournments or postponements thereof), the Company will recommend (and will not change such recommendation in a manner adverse to the Investor Designee) that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the election of each of the Board’s nominees (including with respect to the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Investor Designee), solicit proxies for each of the Board’s nominees (including with respect to the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Investor Designee), cause all Company common stock represented by proxies granted to it (or any of its officers, directors or representatives) to be voted in favor of each of the Board’s nominees (including with respect to the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Investor Designee) and otherwise support the Investor Designee for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other director nominees.

6. Interim Special Meetings. From the Effective Date until the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company shall not call or hold any interim special meeting of shareholders for the purposes of electing, removing and/or replacing directors, unless the Investor Designee agrees otherwise.

7. Voting of Investor’s Shares. In connection with any annual or special meeting of the Company (and any adjournments or postponements thereof) held during the Restricted Period, the Investor will cause to be present for quorum purposes and vote or cause to be voted all Company common stock beneficially owned by it or its controlling or controlled Affiliates that have not been loaned to Third Parties in the ordinary course of business and which it or such controlling or controlled Affiliates are entitled to vote on the record date for such meeting in favor of (A) the election of directors nominated by the Board; (B) any advisory vote on executive compensation and (C) the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this paragraph 7, shares of Company common stock underlying physically-settled swap instruments held by the Investor or its controlling or controlled Affiliates shall not be deemed to be “beneficially owned” by the Investor or its controlling or controlled Affiliates, as applicable.

8. Company Policies. The Investor acknowledges that the Investor Designee, upon election to the Board, will serve as a member of the Board and will be governed by the same protections and obligations regarding confidentiality, conflicts of interest, related party transactions, fiduciary duties, codes of conduct, trading and disclosure policies, director resignation policy, and other governance guidelines and policies of the Company as other directors (collectively, “Company Policies”), and shall be required to preserve the confidentiality of Company business and information, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees, and shall have the same rights and benefits, including with respect to insurance, indemnification, compensation and fees, as are applicable to all independent directors of the Company; provided, that Investor Designee (and any of his or her affiliated funds) will be generally free to trade in the Company’s securities during open window trading periods to the same extent that other directors of the Company are free to trade with respect to any particular open window trading period, without the prior approval of the Company. The Company represents and warrants that: (i) all Company Policies currently in effect are publicly available on the Company’s website, described in its proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 24, 2020 or have been made available to Investor and such Company Policies will not be amended prior to the appointment of the Investor Designee without written notice to the Investor and (ii) from the date hereof until the end of the Restricted Period, no changes may be made to the Company Policies, and no new Company Policies may be adopted, in each case, that interfere in any material way with the ability of the Investor and its Affiliates to initiate and hold private communications with Company personnel as permitted in this paragraph 8 or which would in any manner interfere with the ability of the Investor Designee to be elected to or remain on the Board, participate in Board matters or discriminate against the Investor Designee, including that which would result in a shortening of the Investor Designee’s tenure on the Board. Furthermore, the Board will not utilize committees of the Board (including any “executive” or similar committee) for the purpose of discriminating against an Investor Designee or undermining the purpose of this Agreement, and each Investor Designee will have access to all Board committee materials and shall be entitled to be a member of two then existing Board committees requested by the Investor Designee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during the Restricted Period, the Investor and its Affiliates (excluding the Investor Designee in his or her capacity as a director of the Company) may initiate and hold private communications regarding the Company and its Affiliates only with (a) any Third Party so long as

such communications do not violate the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation paragraph 12) and would not reasonably be expected to require any public disclosure thereof by the Investor or its Affiliates, the Company or any Third Party and (b) any member of the Company’s board of directors, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, general counsel or SVP of Investor Relations (collectively, the “Contact Personnel”), in each case, only so long as such private communications do not violate the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation paragraph 12) and would not reasonably be expected to require any public disclosure thereof by the Investor or its Affiliates or the Company. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Contact Personnel may engage in discussions with the Investor and its Affiliates subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of their fiduciary duties to the Company and the Company Policies. The Investor acknowledges that neither it nor the Investor Designee will have access to Board materials prior to the time that such materials are provided to the Board generally.

9. Company Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the confidentiality provisions contained in the Company Policies or any other provision contained in any other document, agreement or policy of the Company or its subsidiaries shall be deemed to restrict the Investor Designee from sharing any information provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the Investor Designee in connection with his or her service as a director (such information and any notes, analyses, reports, models, compilations, studies, interpretations, documents, records or extracts thereof containing or based upon such information, in whole or in part, “Company Information”) with any of Investor’s employees or advisors who need to know such Company Information for the purpose of assisting Investor in evaluating and monitoring its investment in the Company, and the Investor Designee is expressly permitted to share Company Information with such employees and advisors; provided, that, such employees or advisors shall maintain the confidentiality of Company Information to the same extent as required of the Investor Designee as a director of the Company; provided, further, that if such employees or advisors fail to maintain the confidentiality of Company Information in accordance therewith, Investor shall be responsible for any non-compliance by such employees or advisors. Furthermore, subject to paragraph 11, nothing in this Agreement or the Company Policies shall restrict or limit the ability of Investor from engaging in a proxy contest, it being agreed that the Investor and its representatives shall be entitled to disclose that portion of (and only such portion of) Company Information required to be disclosed by applicable law in order to engage in such a proxy contest.

10. Press Releases; SEC Filings. Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall issue the press release in the form agreed with the Investor (the “Company Press Release”), and no party shall make any statement inconsistent with the Company Press Release in connection with the announcement of this Agreement. Additionally, promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Investor.

11. Standstill. From the Effective Date until the Expiration Date or until such earlier time as the restrictions in this paragraph 11 terminate as provided herein (such period, the “Restricted Period”), the Investor will not, and will cause its controlled Affiliates and their principals, directors, general partners, officers, employees, and agents and representatives acting on their behalf (collectively, the “Restricted Persons”) not to, directly or indirectly, absent prior express written invitation or authorization by the Board:
