Did you know that electric cars, wind turbines, medical applications, and digital technologies all count on Rare Earth elements? These critical materials are at the heart of the energy transition and e-mobility revolution. Our La Rochelle site in France will become a major European Rare Earths hub, building on 70+ years of expertise in rare earth separation. The hub will focus on high-performance permanent magnets, essential for technologies driving a sustainable future. Sourcing Rare Earths responsibly is key to this effort, with materials coming from: ♻️ Recycling end-of-life magnets 🌍 Mining outside China 🏭 Industrial tailings At full capacity, additional tons of Rare Earths will be produced annually at La Rochelle, covering a significant portion of Europe’s future needs for clean mobility and renewable energy. With this initiative, we’re not only supporting Europe’s strategic autonomy but also creating a circular and sustainable Rare Earths value chain.

Following up on the successful launch of our biodigester at the Ciudad Juarez production site in Mexico, developed in partnership with Franco y Asociados. The innovative project transforms organic waste from local municipal services into biomethane, providing up to 80% of the site’s energy needs for boiler and kiln operations. By reducing reliance on natural gas, it highlights how circular economy solutions can make a meaningful impact on both energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. The inauguration event brought together representatives from government, academia, and environmental institutions, including Johan Verkammen, Ambassador of Belgium in Mexico, alongside local and regional leaders. Their participation reinforces the importance of collaboration in building a more sustainable future. This achievement reflects the dedication of our teams, partners, and everyone involved. Together, we continue to show that progress is made through impactful steps.

We at Solvay are proud to partner with Pantys to support Projeto Arrastao, a remarkable non-profit organization in São Paulo dedicated to empowering communities and fostering education. With Pantys’ high-tech, clinically approved absorbent underwear – featuring our Amni Soul Eco® technology – we’re providing an innovative solution that’s biodegradable and promotes skin comfort. Through this collaboration, over 200 Pantys were donated, ensuring at least four years of comfort and security for the girls during their menstrual cycles. At Solvay, we believe that addressing intimate health goes beyond providing access to quality products—it’s also about sharing knowledge and increasing self-awareness. At the event an engaging and insightful menstrual cycle discussion circle was held, promoting dialogue and connection. Together, we’re driving positive change and helping create a future where dignity and education are accessible to all. Let’s continue to make a difference, one step at a time!

👶 Becoming a father is a major life change, and each experience is unique. At Solvay, we support our employees so that they can ease into the new role with peace of mind. We provide all our employees 16 weeks of parental leave, without distinction. For example Lanan, who took that leave, a time that allows fathers to form a real bond with their newborn child. "Participating in all the small details of my son's daily routine during his very early life stage makes me feel more connected with him. It also helps to boost gender equality. I could experience first-hand that taking care of a baby is not easy and shouldn't fall solely on the mother." Raphaël, who is a Dad with two daughters, told us: "Balancing work and family commitments can be difficult, but I'm grateful to Solvay for the flexibility they offer me. I can fulfil my responsibilities at work and still be there for my family." This flexibility is made possible by the extraordinary unity shown by our staff, as Nuno, from our Peroxides team, points out. "In today's world, where both parents often work full-time, many of us refuse to give up the joy of sharing these magic moments. Is it possible to achieve this with a full-time job? Absolutely! I’m grateful that Solvay is there for me, allowing me to be the father I want to be." These outcomes make us proud of our initiatives to look after our employees and their families.
