Scheduling the sustainability roadmap - A calendar for change
Deadlines align all Solvay business entities on a common calendar.
Solvay 175, the Group's long-term vision
This means consolidating the Group's activities and Research&Development portfolio, to ensure that Solvay products provide solutions to the challenges of sustainability.
Equally essential is continuous improvement of energy efficiency of its industrial processes, by minimizing carbon dioxide and other emissions and aiming for long term carbon neutrality.
The idea is to secure our raw materials and energy supplies, but without interfering with the food chain.
2020
By 2020, the Group’s commitment is to reduce significantly its energy consumption and emissions:
• Its total energy consumption by at least 20% in its primary production and processes, sites and buildings (based on energy audits) and its logistics impact (transport, in road ton/km in Europe)
• Its global emissions of greenhouse gases (in CO2 equivalent) by at least 20% including cuts in company vehicle fleet emissions of at least 30%
• Its global air and water emissions index by at least 20%
and growing our product portfolio towards a better balance of Process/Market sustainability.
2012
the Group has committed to:
• Strengthen its strategy to secure its raw materials needs
• Launch a comprehensive energy-savings and greenhouse-gas-reduction program
• Use a CO2 reference price for sensitivity analyses and decision-making, in all investment projects
• Develop a systematic assessment of all sites based on a Best Available Technologies model
• Use Process/Markets sustainability analysis to position its products and direct its R&D programs in all its activities
• Constantly review its product portfolio so as to balance opportunities and risks
• Adapt the governance and improve the organization of its Research activities
• Promote the attitudes, skills and know-how needed for open innovation and a learning organization.
