Solvay is applying six Responsible Care principles for health, safety and environment, backed up by guidelines that specify how they are to be applied.
Solvay’s Responsible Care® policy, adopted in 1992, is in line with the commitment on the part of the world chemical industry to continuous progress in these matters.
Our Responsible Care® policy is a key element in our commitment to sustainable development. It applies to all management units and to all employees.
We are committed to complying with all applicable local, national and international regulations that relate to health, safety and the environment.
We are committed to developing and supplying products and services that, throughout their lifecycle, involve minimum risk to human beings and the environment, while best meeting the needs of our customers.
We are committed to managing both our sites and the transport of our products in such a way as to avoid harm to communities and to our employees, and to minimize the impact of these activities on the environment.
We encourage our joint ventures, suppliers, subcontractors and customers to adopt a policy comparable to ours in relation to health, safety and the environment.
We are committed to measuring and verifying our performance and improvements related to health, safety and environmental issues, and to dialogue with all stakeholders, in a spirit of openness and mutual respect.
