Employee Engagement

Goal:Year-over-year improvement in culture survey participation and engagement score

<p>Solenis brings together diverse perspectives in a safe, collaborative workplace that empowers our employees to solve the world&rsquo;s most challenging process and sustainability challenges. We nurture a culture centered on fundamental beliefs about the value and inclusion of people &ndash; all people &ndash; and we promote learning, growth and well-being for all of our employees.</p> <p>Employee engagement and fostering a committed, high-performing team of employees are fundamental to our culture and are measured through the Solenis Annual Culture Survey. Year after year, we have experienced increases in response rates which we attribute to the tangible actions management takes to promote participation, and the subsequent cultural initiatives that emerge from the survey findings.</p> <p>Once the Culture Survey results are in, the real work begins. At Solenis, a critical part of our sustained improvement in our culture and employee experience is our Culture Action planning process.&nbsp; This process is driven by each and every people manager. Every manager meets with their team, listens to their ideas about opportunities to improve their team culture, and submits a specific action plan that will impact the employee experience. Progress is monitored throughout the year via extra &ldquo;pulse&rdquo; surveys.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Safety – First and Foremost

Goal:Continuously strive toward zero injury culture

<p>At Solenis, we put safety first. Each worker must agree to our&nbsp;<i><a href="/link/62e11f4078884d97b178290a93d08afe.aspx">10 Safety Expectations</a>&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;</i>and execute them without exception.&nbsp;Our ambition is to provide a workplace environment that supports the wellness of our employees. We combine a culture of health and safety excellence and a strategic approach to eliminate and control the risk for injury and illness. At Solenis, we strive to achieve a top quartile injury rate in comparison to our American Chemistry Council Responsible Care&reg; medium-size company peers. Solenis continues to refine its approaches and programs to reduce injuries, illnesses and Days Away from Work (DAW) cases.</p> <p>Our strategic approach to safety improvement includes:</p> <ul> <li>Safety Days</li> <li>Global Safety Month</li> <li>Newsletters</li> <li>Safety Impact Group Meetings</li> <li>Global Safety Alerts and Meetings</li> </ul> <p>At Solenis, all incidents are contained, investigated and corrective actions are implemented to prevent recurrence. These corrective actions are subsequently evaluated to make sure they have been effective. Our CEO personally conducts injury incident reviews. Following each review, safety alerts are shared with concerned workers exposed to such risks to help prevent similar incidents.</p>

Global Employee Engagement

Giving Back to our Communities

Goal:Improve the lives of the people in the communities where we operate

<p>Solenis works to be a valued and respected member of the communities where we work and live.</p> <p>This commitment starts with our executive leadership team and extends to everyone, but at the core of our effort is a diverse group of global volunteers which compose our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee. These representatives in turn lead groups of employees in their regions that serve as a liaison between local efforts, initiatives that may be just a few passionate employees, and larger, coordinated national activities. The CSR Committee drives engagement to and through our &ldquo;SolenisGives&rdquo; platform.&nbsp; In addition, we also team up with customers and NGOs&nbsp;to tackle shared social and environmental challenges, working together to &ldquo;<a href="/link/2eb30215dbff448e92769c47d1e0b7af.aspx">Create Shared Value&rdquo; (CSV)</a> that include award-winning Soap For Hope&trade; and Linens For Life&trade; and more.</p> <h4><span style="font-weight: 400;">SolenisGives</span></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our web-based program, SolenisGives, allows every team member worldwide to easily support their community and the causes that matter to them. Employees use SolenisGives to participate in charitable activities that align with company or personal priorities.
