Solvay signed the United Nations Global Compact in 2010 and supports the 10 UN Global Compact’s principles with respect to human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.

The Global Compact is the world’s largest corporate responsibility initiative with over 8,000 business and non-business participants in 135 countries.


Under the auspices of the Global Compact initiative established by the former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, NGOs, international businesses and labor organizations as well as representatives from the world of science and politics are working closely together with the aim of forging a global economy based on the principles of sustainable development.


“Solvay's dedication to creating value for its stakeholders is linked hand-in-hand with its commitment to social corporate responsibility. The Solvay Group expressly supports the ten principles of the UN Global Compact with respect to human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, all of which align with our Group's values and policies. Solvay is committed to advance those principles within its sphere of influence by incorporating the UN Global Compact and its principles within its strategy, culture and day-to-day operations.”
