Solvay Appoints Pascal Chalvon Demersay as Chief Sustainability and Government Affairs Officer

Solvay has appointed Pascal Chalvon Demersay to chief sustainability and government affairs officer, effective July 1, 2021, integrating the new responsibilities to his current role as chief sustainability officer.
