Advancing safety, inclusion, and community impact for 2030.
Safety
At Univar Solutions, safety is a core value and a critical part of how we operate. As we look to 2030, we are focused on strengthening our safety culture, embedding consistent global standards, and continuously improving how we protect our employees, partners, customers, and communities.
- Maintain strong global safety programs, governance, and accountability across our operations
- Advance hazard awareness, risk prevention, and continuous learning to improve performance over time
- Equip employees with role-relevant training, tools, and support so they can work safely every day
We also recognize that a strong social strategy includes supporting employee well-being. That means fostering healthy working environments and promoting programs, practices, and resources that help our people thrive.
Inclusion and Belonging
We are working to build a workplace where everyone is treated fairly, respected for their perspectives, and supported to succeed. As part of our strategy to 2030, Inclusion and Belonging remains focused on strengthening equitable practices, enabling meaningful employee engagement, and helping create an environment where people feel they belong.
All employees of Univar Solutions have the right to work in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and violence. We are committed to fair employment practices and to maintaining a culture rooted in dignity, respect, and accountability, as reflected in our Position on Human Rights and Forced Labor Statement.
By combining strong governance, transparency, and employee-led engagement, we aim to create a culture where people know they are valued for their expertise, qualifications, and contributions—and where inclusion supports stronger business performance over the long term
Vendor Diversity
Univar Solutions understands that diversity is integral to business and that a diverse workforce and diverse procurement investment can help us venture into new markets and increase stakeholder value.
The goal is to develop a way of doing business that encourages vendors to participate in opportunities, as well as for the company to capture, measure, and report based on categories, spend, and volume.
Connecting Community
Our purpose to help keep communities healthy, fed, clean, and safe continues to guide how we think about social impact. As part of our strategy to 2030, we are focused on deepening community engagement in ways that are relevant, practical, and aligned with the needs of the places where we live and work.
Through our products and services, we support essential industries and everyday needs—from water treatment and food systems to transportation and critical infrastructure.
We also know our responsibility extends beyond the products we distribute. That is why we continue to support charitable organizations, non-profit partners, and local initiatives that strengthen communities and create meaningful opportunities for employee involvement.
By building strong community relationships and maintaining a long-term focus on impact, we aim to ensure our social strategy continues to evolve alongside our business and our 2030 ambitions.
Safety
At Univar Solutions, we are serious about safety. We take a holistic approach to day-to-day operations, and:
- Adhere to the highest industy standards and follow all laws and regulations
- Continually seek to go beyond what is required by law, as we improve our processes and sharpen our understanding of hazards
- Training our teams on the responsibilities that are most relevant to their roles
In addition to fostering our safe workplace conditions, we also encourage the well-being of all our employees—whether that's through regular health checks, COVID screenings, or helpful pointers on ergonomics.
Inclusion and Belonging
Our focus on driving a fair and inclusive workplace is at the very core of our values and continues to be demonstrated through the actions we take within our organization, for our industry, and in our communities.
All employees of Univar Solutions have the right to work in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and acts or threats of violence. We are committed to a safe working environment and embrace a culture of mutual respect and appreciation for the differences of others, as set out in our Position on Human Rights and Forced Labor Statement.
At Univar Solutions, we have built a strong foundation of robust governance, employee engagement, and transparency to ensure we are creating an environment where people feel a sense of belonging and know they are valued for their expertise, qualifications, and perspectives.

Community Engagement
Now, more than ever, we're finding it essential to lead with our enduring purpose to help keep our communities heathly, fed, clean, and safe.
Through our products, we continue to deliver the chemicals and ingredients needed to produce useable water, reduce food waste, make travel possible, and keep the lights on.
Though we're proud of this impact, and honored to be serving our neighbors, we also recognize that our engagement with those around us can't stop here.
It's important that we stay connected to local charities, non-profit organizations, and community groups, while continually advancing our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy.
