Karim Hajjar, CFO of Solvay, commented: “This early redemption, on the back of yet another record set of results, gives us the opportunity to further improve our balance sheet. Since 2019, we have structurally improved cash generation and strongly deleveraged Solvay’s balance sheet, and this equips us to confront turbulent times with confidence. ”
