The new initiative seeks to promote an owner's mindset and better align employees with the Group’s performance, offering them a 10% discount on Solvay shares
Solvay announces the launch of its first employee stock ownership plan, offering employees the opportunity to buy company shares at a discount of 10%. It will be available to Solvay employees globally regardless of their location and salary level. Furthermore, after a period of two years, participants in the program will be granted one free share for every three shares they own.
“At Solvay, we care about our employees and thus we want them to become shareholders, with all the privileges of voting rights and dividends. Our aim is to deepen and accelerate Solvay’s delivery by mobilizing thousands of employees to act as entrepreneurs and owners, broadening their perspectives and embracing all opportunities to drive the Group’s transformation and to create superior, responsible and sustainable value.”
