Nov. 14, 2023
November 13, 2023 marks a new era for Syensqo and its stakeholders as it sets out its new, more focused growth strategy as it prepares to begin life as an independent, listed company (subject to approval by Solvay’s shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting approval on December 8, 2023).
Syensqo presents its new mid-term financial targets and sustainability commitments at its inaugural Capital Markets Day. The presentation prepared for the Capital Markets Day is available on Syensqo’s website (www.syensqo.com/en/investors/spinoff) and key highlights are summarized below.
Syensqo’s future senior leadership team, announced on November 3rd, 2023, is committed to accelerating value creation by delivering superior revenue growth, margin expansion and increasing returns. Achieving Syensqo’s mid-term targets is expected to deliver more than €7bn of cash between 2024 and 2028.
Syensqo believes the separation will create one of the leading global pure play specialty chemical companies, driven by its mission to be the innovation leader in its industry and its unique portfolio of technologies, solving the unmet needs of its customers across the globe. Syensqo’s unique portfolio of solutions is aimed at addressing disruptive megatrends, including electrification, lightweighting, connectivity, and quality of life. In addition, Syensqo is at the heart of the transition towards a climate-neutral economy, which is expected to drive new sources of value and support its long-term growth.
Syensqo’s long-term ambition is to be the prime innovation partner to its customers, grow at around two times the rate of its end markets, and deliver superior returns.
