Message from the CEO

The strength to change to shape our future.

"Environmental challenges – in particular climate change – are requiring us to totally rethink our vision of the world.
Our chemical and plastics businesses need more than ever to provide solutions and responses to these challenges to our society.

We are changing because the world is changing.
We are changing because we want to be in pole position to secure the long-term future of the Group with sustainable and profitable growth.

We must prepare for tomorrow.
We must be able to provide the world with the solutions it needs to ensure its sustainable development.

Solvay not only creates value for its stakeholders, but is also invested with a real social mission.
This mission, we will fulfil by becoming a key player in sustainable chemistry with a reduced environmental footprint."
