The Changemakers
SOL Luce Award
Our Membership
In the Group, we believe that investing in acquired intangible immaterial assets such as an individual’s abilities and potential is a concrete strategy to safeguard the value of a business that is largely relying on human capital. The Sol Luce Awards are designed to promote, develop and support this vision in order to safeguard, strengthen and enhance the value of our Human Capital, providing recognition to employees who bring about innovative solutions that drive the business forward.
Corporate Social Responsibility
The SOL Group companies are inserting increasingly Sustainable development in their strategies and daily practices. They encourage their employees to take the lead in customer service, innovation, business development, workplace safety, and environmental protection. The aim of Corporate Social Responsability (CSR) activities generate a value chain integral to the broader Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) management systems designed to manage enterprise risk, minimise environmental impact, and positively impact individuals and communities with which the company engages.
Our Corporate Social Responsability refers to the Company’s responsibility towards a variety of typical roles in our corporate environment. We represent the interests of our customer, employees, suppliers and the community in which we operate. We manage our impacts in each of those areas. We assess our social responsibilities and impacts continually. We provide our stakeholders with the information they require of us. We are reviewed by third party authorities to be held accountable to our commitment to sustainability. We communicate transparently with employees and communities if the HSE commitment is compromised. By working together, we can reduce risk, improve our performance and achieve sustainable operational success.
The SOL Group practices services that truly satisfy its clients, with the goal of protecting and improving health without disadvantaging the environment or degrading social values and operations. All operations and activities are evaluated in the context of an integrated company-wide framework which focuses on enterprise risk management, stewardship of the natural resources and third-party verifications like Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodologies applied to the manufacturing
process..
