Solvay it’s a multinational company that’s comes
from Belgium ,
specialized into Chemicals industries. It was created by the Belgian Ernest
Solvay, and now it has its headquarters on Brussels
(Belgium ), and it is
considered the oldest Chemicals company on the World an now the biggest on Europe .
According to its official website it has 119 factories at 52 countries around 4 continents.
So, all leader enterprise hides, behind it
leadership, a dark secret. And, on the Solvay’s case, it not is less. An it’s,
appealing to lamentably to a regular practice on the industry, to appeal to the
slavery.
AS FIRST, THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS:
Everyone knows the aftermath that lived Europe after the Wold War II. One of the most kneed be
the controverter concentration camps that there were on the Hitler’s NaziGerman and the after-conquered territories, which,
among other things, it slaves people (normally, disaccording people to the
political regime of that age) to do forced labour on the concentration camps,
and when it not be usable, be executed (normally with gas chamber).
The same Hitler’s Nazi government authorized to
many enterprises to use that concentration camps to keep a source of cheap
workforce (being as the prisoners not get directly money and just get food
recipes).
And, between other involucrate enterprises on
concentration camps, it stays the Belgian Solvay. Concreting, Solvay stays, as
documented sources, slavering prisoners on Buchenwald and Dora-Mittelbau
concentration camps, both of them on the Bernburg
City (Germany ). Although unknown the
exact number of people that be slaved by Solvay on that age, it’s something
that should not be allowed, and it not has documented about it be judged.
AND LATER, TAKING PROFFIT FROM SCOHOLS:
And nowadays, with popular conscience that the
slavering it’s been eradicated, Solvay continues doing it.
Although it’s not possible to keep record the
52 countries that Solvay had presence nowadays, we had to analyze the case in Spain .
And is that since the Solvay factory in Blanes
(Girona Province , Spain ) has many contracts to do the
placements on its facilities. So the contract it’s just on the enterprise
interested part that wants to be kneed.

And, behind that’s it’s socially well seen
formation contracts, Solvay meet the best history plum to obtain cheap
workforce (and also, slaved) to its industrial facilities.
It’s not also the horrible fact of use students
to work free (and also, doing tasks not related to its studies), unless to get
with opened arms great grants that the Generalitat (the Catalan
government) gives to the enterprises that receive placements students, learn or
not the job.
What all this, Solvay on any moment gives any
clarion call to respect.
CONTRADITING ITS OWN CODE OF CONDUCT:
Solvay has an ethical code of conduct available
on it’s international website, available to all public to read on 12 different languages, between them,
English.
And, on many aspects, that code of conduct it
contradicts himself by the on the real life does Solvay.
Respect to the English version of that ethical
code, on the page number 7 them say, textually “Solvay strives to maintain a work environment in which people are
treated with dignity, decency and respect. That environment should be
characterized by mutual trust and the absence of intimidation, oppression and
exploitation. Employees should be able to work and learn in a safe and
stimulating atmosphere. The accomplishment of this goal is essential to the
Group’s mission.”.
Those facts, at least on the Blanes facilities,
on any moment not be accomplished and respected, being as, also the labour
exploitation deed to the placement students, also them not give an respectful
treatment to it’s students. Also, the students are a repression subject on
front of the possibility that them advise to the educational institution of the
deed irregularities deed by the enterprise.
On the page number 15 of the same code of
conduct, Solvay comes back to throw stones on his own roof by writing the next
writing: “Solvay is committed to
respecting and supporting human rights with regard to its employees (…) as
expressed in the internationally recognized standards including the U.N.
Universal Declaration on Human Rights. In addition to the broad range of human
rights and workplace issues addressed elsewhere in this Code of Conduct and in
the Group’s policies, Solvay prohibits any kind of child labour or forced labour.
Solvay takes seriously any indication that human rights are not properly
protected within its sphere of influence or that it may be complicit in any
human rights violation (…).”
Fact that also not complains, so force a
student to do at the placement tasks that not be the it’s own it’s a full-blown
uncomplishing of the human rights. As also the fact that Solvay doesn’t started
any kind of corrective measure to solve the labour exploitation that submit
many students on it’s facilities, and, by that, contradict again it’s own code
of conduct.
Also the own Solvay, the Generalitat also
abetting on the human rights uncomplishing that’s does Solvay on its
facilities. Although not be shown, cannot be discarded to exist a favourable
treatment or bribery between Solvay and the Generalitat de Catalunya to ease
“slaves” covered as placements students that had to learn a job. And also on
other headland of the same code of conduct, them also specify that Solvay never
stays on political issues and not tolerate the corruption or the bribery to
official servers or government entity.
All information’s and sources available here had been
obtained, also the same links on this article (marked on blue) from mine own
experiences, being as I am one of the many students slavered by Solvay and
after the Generalitat covered that behaviours.
