The private sector now has a blueprint to unlock up to 30 to 40% of global emissions! 🌎 We’re proud to have Solvay CEO in Latin America, Daniela Manique, chair the Sustainable Business #COP30 Energy Transition Working Group. This powerful cross-sector collaboration (including CMPC, Engie, Microsoft, and Suzano) just delivered a landmark report to the Brazilian authorities ahead of the event's start. The key message is clear: Even in hard-to-abate sectors, meaningful progress is possible. Our unified group is urgently calling for three accelerants to make this blueprint a reality: 1. Clear, stable policy frameworks. 2. Accelerated funding for low-carbon technologies. 3. Process innovation (like Solvay's e.Solvay and bio-circular silica case studies) to drive real-world progress.

🎉 We did it! 94% water reuse at our Santo André plant in Brazil! 🎉 Solvay (operating as Rhodia Brasil) and our partner Veolia have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in water resilience. This incredible rate is securing our operations in the drought-prone São Paulo region and is driving us toward near-total water independence, saving the equivalent of 133 Olympic swimming pools worth of fresh water every year! We are making this happen by leveraging Veolia’s expertise and advanced ZeeWeed™MBR membrane technology to create a smart, closed-loop system that transforms effluent into high-quality process water. This successful 10-year partnership demonstrates our fundamental shift toward the circular economy and proves that industrial performance and sustainability can, and must, go hand-in-hand. #Veolia #WaterResilience #CircularEconomy

Solvay is taking science-based action for biodiversity! 🌎 We are thrilled to announce a foundational step in translating global biodiversity goals into verifiable, local actions with the launch of a pioneering pilot at our Dombasle, France site. In partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), we are one of six pioneers testing the rigorous IUCN RHINO (Rapid, High-Integrity, Nature-positive Outcomes) approach and the STAR metric (Species Threat Abatement and Restoration). The goal? To create a replicable, science-based blueprint that can systematically screen site impacts, set evidence-based targets, and accurately measure our contributions to nature across our wider global network. As our Chief Sustainability Officer, Jean-Charles Djelalian, notes: "As a science-based company, we value expert insights that help us move from ambition to action. We are honored to pilot the RHINO approach and STAR metric." This measured approach is essential for delivering tangible positive impacts for nature. #Biodiversity #ScienceBasedTargets #IUCN 📸 Photo: IUCN/Abhi Indrarajan/Workers Photos

The future of the sustainable #BatterySupplyChain is being forged in Africa! The energy transition requires an ecosystem built on sustainability, from the mine to recycling, and events like #GigaAfrica2025 in Marrakech clearly highlighted the continent's growing leadership. The true opportunity lies in closing the loop - establishing a circular economy that boosts process efficiency, reduces environmental impact, and ensures economic viability. We're committed to enabling this transformation. Our INTEROX® VOLT hydrogen peroxide is a key enabler for optimizing cathode material production and efficiently recovering valuable metals. But the solution isn't just a chemical; it's a partnership. It was inspiring to connect with global leaders of the segment to discuss how we can best implement resilient and responsible solutions across Africa, and we thank all the participants for their dedication. Let's collaborate to build the #GreenEconomy of the future.
