Humanity is at the heart of @Solvay. Since our founding 160 years ago we care about people. Ernest Solvay was already engaged in #corporateCitizenship in the 19th century - introducing the 8 hour workday, medical coverage, free and low-rent housing for employees. #Solvay160

Putting people first since 1863 - #Solvay160 #Welfare Ernest Solvay is renowned as a science enthusiast and remarkable businessman. But did you know that his brother Alfred and him were among the first to implement what we would call today Corporate Social Responsibility?

Recently @BusinessEurope asked me about competitiveness of EU industry. While the EU has high ambitions #energytransition #greenmobility #chipsact #hydrogen, these could be jeopardized by EU policy incoherence (competing regulatory preasure incl on chemicals restrictions). See ๐Ÿ‘‡

Goed dat de EU Critical Raw Materials Act er nu is - deze kritieke grondstoffen zijn noodzakelijk voor duurzame toepassingen als EV-batterijen, electronics en energietransitie. Nu nog aanpalende wetgeving zoals inzake afval goed regelen. Zie mijn interview in @tijd @SolvayGroup
