    An internship can be the first step on the ladder!

    An internship can be the first step on the ladder, as Juan Camilo Rubio tells us from experience!  Juan started out on his career pathway at Solvay in 2016, with an internship in credit management at our Lyon offices, in France. At the end of his internship, Juan was offered an internal transfer and a permanent contract, and that's how he joined the risk management and internal audit teams in Paris. But that's not all! He recently accepted the offer of another transfer, and is now part of Solvay's sustainability department in Brussels, 8 years on from when he started his internship with us! ✨ “It was very interesting that I was given real responsibilities and accountability, despite being so new, so young. And they were always by my side, to teach me and help me improve in my day-to-day job.” 🤝 Want to build your career with us? 🌍 Take a look at our internship offers and join a team that supports your career development: https://bit.ly/4iJkB8s

    Fostering environmental education at Solvay

    Last week, we were honored to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of Belgium to the inauguration of one of Paulínia's ecological trails, a symbol of our commitment to preserving biodiversity and fostering environmental education. One highlight of the day was The Ladybug Project. Through this program, we inspire young minds—children aged 7 to 12, including those of our employees—to embrace environmental responsibility. The program involved: 🐞Parental training, 🐞Caring for ladybug larvae at home, 🐞Releasing mature ladybugs into their natural habitat. The final stage of the project was celebrated on-site, with Princess Astrid, Solvay CEO Philippe Kehren, and Solvay Latin America CEO Daniela Manique joining us to release these tiny yet mighty champions of biodiversity. Together, we are shaping a future by nurturing curiosity and care for our planet in the next generation. 💚
