As Solvay’s principal executive organ of governance, the Executive Committee plays an entrepreneurial role and fosters operational agility.
The Executive Committee is collectively responsible for Solvay’s overall performance, protecting the Group’s interests and ensuring that it is looking to the long term. It gives shape to the strategy, steers the Group’s business portfolio, and ensures that value creation targets are met. Each member is responsible for overseeing a number of Global Business Units (GBUs), Functions, or Zones.
Although Solvay’s GBUs have a high level of autonomy, the Executive Committee is responsible for optimizing the allocation of human, financial, and material resources to achieve the highest possible level of sustainable performance and value creation.
