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.

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
