A highlight of the plenary was the participation of the IndustriALL Global Director, whose presence underscored the importance of strong partnerships between Syensqo and global labor organizations. The sessions provided a unique opportunity for all stakeholders to share perspectives, address challenges, and explore avenues for future collaboration and their desired improvements on specific topics.
Tom Grinter (IndustriaLL Global Director) commented, “the week of meetings showed that the international industrial relations at Syensqo are going strong. The worker reps from around the world come well prepared and take the opportunity to be informed, deliver feedback and concerns. And management from across the operations engage and value the exchange. This high-quality engagement is only possible when all involved respect and value the discussion. We applaud the joint efforts to continue building on the long history of partnership at Syensqo, and are proud that IndustriALL is a part of it.”
