It has been one year since we launched Solvay One Planet, our roadmap for sustainable progress that increased and broadened our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments. Centered around three pillars – climate change, resource scarcity and promoting a better life – Solvay One Planet is at the heart of our ambition to create sustainable shared value for all.
This goes beyond reducing our negative environmental impact: it’s about maximizing our positive impact in addressing the challenges we are all faced with as inhabitants of planet Earth. This is disruptive and transformative, not only in the way we do business, but also in how we help our customers and suppliers increase their own sustainability objectives, whether it’s through solutions that enable lightweighting or switching to bio-sourced raw materials, or by developing the circular economy.
The journey is long, but our commitment remains stronger than ever. Like all industries, we are part of the problem, but we can also be part of the solution, by putting our activities at the service of sustainability and circularity. In fact, despite the major disruptions caused by Covid-19, we increased our ambitions in 2020, raising the bar in terms of our climate and resource objectives, as this infographic shows, while continuing to promote a better life for all Solvay employees.
All these actions are the consequence of the reinforcement of our Solvay One Planet goals. By 2030, we will work to fight climate change by phasing out coal-based energy and cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 26%; we will reduce resource consumption by generating 65% of our revenue from sustainable solutions and more than doubling our circular sales; lastly, we will continue to improve quality of life by aiming for zero accidents and accelerating inclusion and diversity in our workforce.
Additionally, Solvay is hard at work building a circular ecosystem, reaching out to our partners all along the value chain in order to use more waste as a raw material, boost recycling and promote the switch to biomass energy.
The race towards sustainability isn’t one that can be won alone.
