We're proud to share the story of a groundbreaking facility that is setting a new standard for sustainable waste-to-energy! This plant is a model for sustainable urban waste management, processing over 220,000 metric tons of waste annually and generates enough electricity to power 10,000 households. The remarkable success of the New Taipei City Xindian Refuse Incineration Plant is a testament to strong collaboration. Since partnering with Onyx Taho Environmental Services and adopting Solvay's SOLVAir® sodium-bicarbonate-based solution for flue gas treatment in 2019, the facility has achieved significant results: 🏭 80% Reduction in residues generated compared to traditional methods (hydrated lime). 🏭50% Reduction in reagent consumption, maximizing efficiency. 🏭Significant Air Quality Improvement: Acidic gas emissions like SO2 and HCl are controlled to levels well below official standards. 🏭26% Increase in Power Generation Capacity. This partnership is a powerful example of how essential chemistry can not only achieve exceptional environmental compliance and deliver economic benefit, but is foundational to sustainable development that ensures a better future for generations.

Did you know that around 15 to 20% of people are neurodivergent? At Solvay, we believe inclusion begins with awareness. That’s why our employee-led group ADAPT (Abled & Disabled Allies Partnering Together) recently hosted a webinar on neurodiversity, an important topic that’s often overlooked because it isn’t always visible. This initiative, aligned with European Week for People with Disabilities at Work (SEEPH), reflects our commitment to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong. If you’re passionate about inclusion and want to work for a company that values empathy and diversity, join us. Explore opportunities to make an impact and be part of ADAPT’s next initiatives.

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.

Philippe joined local leaders to celebrate this commitment to environmental and social progress. 🦺 Reinforcing Safety: Philippe also connected with teams in Bangkok and Map Ta Phut for our Global Safety Week. Employees challenged him with a crucial question: "What is my personal reason for wanting to go home safe every day?" This direct engagement shows the strength of our safety culture. As Philippe said: "These trips re-energize me and reinforce my conviction that Essential Chemistry benefits our world." Thank you to the team in Thailand for your dedication!
