The Responsible Care® policy is a key element in Solvay’s sustainability strategy and commits the Group to progress in health, safety and the environment.
 Solvay embraced the goals of the chemical industry's voluntary Responsible Care® initiative and has applied its principles since 1992.
In 2007, Solvay signed the updated Responsible Care® Global Charter of the International Chamber of Chemical Associations (ICCA) and updated its own policy on health, safety and environment.
