Solvay

This award recognises a chemical company that has turned its financing strategy into a direct engine of decarbonisation. In September 2025, Solvay amended its €1.1 billion credit facilities to incorporate sustainability‑linked features, directly tying its cost of borrowing to ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.

The incentives cover Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 GHG emissions, reflecting Solvay’s comprehensive climate roadmap and reinforcing its commitment to a carbon-neutral future by 2050. Beyond finance, Solvay’s 2025 AGM presentation confirmed a 30 per cent reduction target for Scope 1 and 2 by 2030 and a coal phase-out at key sites, while the Rosignano Hydrogen Valley project advanced a 5 MW electrolyser powered by a dedicated solar farm to cut site emissions by 15 per cent by mid‑2026.

For embedding decarbonisation into the financial core of an industrial company, Solvay receives this recognition.
