Thank you very much. The advice and comments of our people are very important to us. The Work Environment is fundamental to us. That is why we believe that optimizing the working environment for employees and fostering a collaborative atmosphere is crucial. That is why we have established a Workers Committee, ensuring every employee's voice is seen, heard, valued, and acted upon. Over the past year, we addressed this topic through different programs like the Speak Up Policy or the workers committee. We sincerely appreciate your feedback on employee development. Your suggestions are very valuable to us. We will continue to strive for improvement and refinement to meet employees' expectations. Your growth is our growth. Thank you for all your hard work. Take care!

Pros

Solvay cares deeply about its employees and their well-being, both inside and outside the company. There are many initiatives regarding mental health and work-life balance throughout the year. The relationship between management and employees is natural and marked by a great deal of respect for individuality.

Cons

Solvay has its processes very well defined but somewhat complex in the sense that the large volume of actions divided among the various teams can lead to dissatisfaction.
