Solvay Way: driving
improvement
The Solvay sustainability commitments and objectives are reviewed based
on progress, the evolution of standards and the needs of stakeholders and
lessons learned from self-assessments, internal and external audits and
exchanging ideas about best practices.
Solvay Way is based on a reference framework divided into six stakeholders
(customers, employees, investors, suppliers, communities and the planet), to
whom the Group has made 22 commitments broken down into 49 associated
practices. This reference framework helps each Solvay entity to conduct
yearly self-assessments of its practices in order to identify its strengths and
weaknesses and to develop an appropriate improvement plan.
Each year, all Solvay production sites, business units and research centers,
industrial, purchasing, finance, legal, public affairs, strategy and human
resources departments assess their practices in terms of corporate social
responsibility.
