+1 - Solvay

Sustainable Development
The most important
development in this
field in 2007 was the
formalization of the
Group’s commitment
to Sustainable
Development, with
the wording of the
Group’s Mission
and its Vision being
modified accordingly.
Through this
commitment, Solvay
wishes to respond,
with its stakeholders,
to the expectations
engendered by
the issues facing
the planet and its
inhabitants.
Advances during 2007 were
mainly in the areas of:
• continuing to improve safety;
• further reducing
production-related emissions
into the air or water and
untreated waste;
• gaining control of
greenhouse gas emissions;
• deployment of social
initiatives.
