Doing our part to protect the planet with committed focus on our operations, actions, products, and solutions.
The world is experiencing increased water stress due to climate change, elevating its status as the most precious resource.
Solenis is a leading specialty chemical supplier and water treatment company focused on solving tough water treatment and process improvement challenges for our customers. In addition, we also focus on reducing our own water withdrawal, reducing our impact on the water supply in the areas in which we operate. We assess and track our impact on water stressed areas using the World Resources Institute Aqueduct tool.
We assess and manage our water risks by reducing our water withdrawal from various sources such as bodies of water, groundwater and wells, and improving our wastewater systems. Our approach includes control measures to monitor and prevent contamination of groundwater; programs to reduce water intake using efficient equipment; eliminating once through cooling systems; reusing or recycling water; and wastewater treatment systems.
Solenis has signed on to the CEO Water Mandate, an initiative that mobilizes business leaders on water, sanitation and elements of water stewardship.

In our manufacturing sites, we have implemented processes to reduce, recycle and reuse materials that potentially can become waste, such as containers, pallets, and solvents. We also aim to minimize the amount of sludge from our wastewater. This reduces disposal volumes and energy needed for transportation. Across all of our sites, we monitor and manage the volume of our waste disposal.
Solenis also delivers superior value by providing solutions to challenges and identifying opportunities to manage natural resources. We help our customers minimize waste and improve their ability to design and manufacture their products in a more environmentally responsible way. We also integrate circular economy principles in our innovations. Solenis continues to increase packaging efficiency and significantly reduce its packaging footprint by designing products for reuse and recycling.
