Going Beyond Solvay
At Solvay, we’re conscious of having an impact that extends beyond our organization, and of making sure that impact is a positive one. That includes supporting initiatives that enhance the quality of life for people around the world and promote the wellbeing of the local communities we work in and with. Encouraging and investing in the values of openness, tolerance, and equality that we embrace as a business.
It’s why we establish partnerships with external organizations. These alliances help enrich our DEI journey through a variety of actions such as learning initiatives and best practice sharing. We’re proud to work with the following organizations to help us advance inclusivity, within and outside of Solvay, and will continue to grow our DEI collaborations in the future:
