Sustainability continues to be a key element of corporate strategy, as global companies continue to seek pathways to pursue opportunities for improved business performance, and as their customers continue to demand continuous improvement.
Solvay is convinced of the need to move rapidly from a linear economy - which is exceedingly wasteful- to a circular economy, which can help resolve the environmental and societal challenges we face, to ensure our planet retains its regenerative resource cycles. Solvay's intention is to position itself and its chemistry as a transformation agent which contributes towards solving societal issues, by designing new and innovative solutions that help customers achieve their sustainability goals. The chemical industry supplies many other industries and chemical science is a powerful building block which enables material transformation. We invite you to join us to learn how this industry leader is addressing such issues as:

 • How to leverage internal mindset and strengthen our collaborative innovation competences to accelerate the transition to a circular economy?
 • How does Solvay boost concrete business projects to foster solutions meeting the circular economy requirements?
 • How will new business-level commitments and partnerships optimize and transform resource cycles?
