Solvay One Planet - Our agenda to connect the dots between business and sustainability
Raising the bar in response to climate change, resource scarcity and creating a better life
At Solvay, we believe that solutions to major humanity challenges will be led by scientific breakthroughs, while taking care of our legacies. Today, we put our expertise at the service of some of the most pressing issues of our planet. Through Solvay One Planet we focus on areas where our innovation and sustainable solutions can have the biggest positive impact, directly and indirectly, in line with the ambition and requirements of the UN Sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Structured around the 3 major categories of climate, resources and better life, Solvay One Planet is our roadmap towards a sustainable future that provides shared value for all.
Underpinned by our Purpose and G.R.O.W. strategy, our sustainability agenda will be brought to life by a set of clearly defined programs and actions, around measured ten key goals and enabled through a set of concrete actions and projects.
Climate
Reduce the environmental footprint of our operations at planetary scale to protect climate & biodiversity.
Resources
Accelerate the transition toward a circular business and operations models.
Better Life
Improve the quality of life of our employees and the society at large.
Collective effort
Sustainability starts with us, and walking the talk will turn our ambition into reality: our new targets on climate, resources and better life will be attained by focusing on a well-defined set of pragmatic and efficient actions, and we will continuously monitor progress through our set of sustainability processes and tools.
Through ‘Solvay One Planet’ we are shifting our focus towards the impacts Solvay has throughout the value chain, from production to consumption. This ranges from the technologies we use in our plants, to the solutions we bring to our clients to diminish their environmental impact, from the investment choices we make, to the well-being of our employees and the communities we are part of. Our objective is to leave to our children a better world than the one we live in today.
