Solvay is a European pharmaceutical company. Its website gives the following account of its lobbying activities:
- The Solvay Group looks back on a rich heritage of “corporate citizenship” dating back to its very founder, Ernest Solvay. Pursuing this tradition, the Solvay Group aims at maintaining a close and mutually beneficial dialogue with Public Authorities and administration, and Members of Parliaments to foster common interests, hence contributing to the sustainable development of our society.
The mission of Government & Public Affairs therefore is to
- Promote, coordinate and advocate in accordance with Solvay’s values the Group’s interests and long term vision towards public authorities within the highly regulated environment of the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry
- Raise the Group’s awareness on the general political context, on the main challenges faced by public authorities, and on more specific policy issues
