Thank you very much. The advice and comments of our people are very important to us. We are convinced that Pay and benefits matter. That's why we have established health insurance and Yearly increases for everyone, at the core of our mission is enhancing employee well-being. This led us to create our 'Solvay Cares' program, designed to meet the basic living needs of all employees, considering regional differences and inflation rates. Thank you for all your hard work. Take care!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Solvay. Pay and benefits are fundamental to us. That is why Fairness is fundamental to us. We have implemented a results-driven salary distribution approach, ensuring fair compensation for everyone (In 2023, we addressed over 400 instances of gender-based salary disparities proactively.). Over the past year, we addressed this topic through different programs like Yearly increases for everyone or an Employee Referral program for everyone (typically 1 month of local minimum wage per referral). Thank you for all your hard work. Take care!

We implemented a minimum living wage commitment (100% of Solvay workforce being paid with a minimum living wage) and yearly increases for everyone helping us to commit to keeping up with industry trends, ensuring our team members receive salaries above industry standards. 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. Your daily commitment is greatly appreciated. Kindest regards.
