Brussels, September 7, 2017 --- Solvay has rejoined the World Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI World), underlining the Group's commitment to improve its performance in sustainable development as part of its business strategy.

"Solvay is very proud of this achievement which for us acknowledges how we have successfully integrated sustainability in the way we do business. Sustainability is part of Solvay's overall performance as captured in the five quantified sustainability objectives we set two years ago to steer and monitor our progress. Today's good news stimulates us to improve further," said Pascal Chalvon-Demersay, Chief Sustainability Officer at Solvay.

The DJSI World, the first global index to track the leading sustainability-driven companies, is a key reference for corporate sustainability. Solvay was in particular rewarded for the robustness of both its materiality analysis  and its Sustainable Portfolio Management methodology which measures the impact of the Group's business decisions.
