    We’re thrilled to announce the inauguration of the second biomass boiler at our Rheinberg soda ash and bicarbonate plant in Germany! By fully transitioning to renewable energy, Rheinberg has become the world’s first soda ash plant powered entirely by locally sourced waste wood, achieving a 65% reduction in CO₂ emissions annually compared to 2021. This milestone is a testament to Solvay’s active work towards sustainability, contributing to a 5% reduction in our Group’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. Together, we’re shaping a greener future for our planet while meeting customer expectations for sustainable operations.

    At Solvay, we’re continuously looking for ways to grow together and make a difference. Living S, our sustainability-focused Employee Resource Group (ERG), is one of the ways we do that. ERGs are employee-led communities that foster connection, learning, and shared purpose. Living S empowers Solvay employees to deepen their understanding of sustainability, explore innovative practices, and contribute to building a brighter, greener future—both within and beyond our company. From engaging events like the “Living S Sustainability Talk” to initiatives that spark dialogue around bioeconomy advancements, Living S inspires action and creates a platform for impactful change. And this is just the beginning—more talks and activities like this one are planned for the future, providing ongoing opportunities for collaboration and growth. Together, we’re driving sustainable solutions that benefit industries, communities, and the planet. 🌿 #Sustainability #EssentialTogether
