Social
Empowering a high-performing and inclusive industry — shaped every day by the people behind it.
Inclusion, diversity and safe working conditions
We place people at the heart of our industrial model. Inclusion, diversity, and a strong safety culture guide our daily operations across all our production sites worldwide. By fostering a caring and respectful work environment, we build an engaged corporate culture aligned with the values of responsibility and respect that our clients expect from their partners.
Risk prevention and sustainable employee support
We act to sustainably protect our employees from the long-term adverse effects linked to industrial activity. This includes active risk prevention — particularly chemical risks —, safe working environments, and continuous training tailored to the evolution of our professions. This vigilance also extends to end-user safety, by minimizing exposure to chemical risks and ensuring product compliance. Preserving the health, skills, and engagement of our teams means securing the continuity of our clients’ processes, the availability of our solutions, and the long-term social reliability of our industrial model
Local roots and positive social impact
Our model is built on strong local roots, providing stability, agility, and local value creation. By supporting employment, skills development, and regional initiatives, we actively contribute to sustainable industrial growth. For our clients, this means partnerships anchored in solid, reliable, and socially responsible ecosystems.
How do we act for the people?
Ensuring safety at work
Ensuring safety at work
The Health & Safety of our coworkers is a priority for us. We keep a close eye on the accident rate and every year we organize a Global Safety Day. This event, which is held worldwide, is dedicated to safety training and the exchange of good practice. For several years now, all our sites, without exception, have taken part in the GSD 'Global Safety Days' once a year.
Novacel has also adopted a continuous improvement approach to workplace safety.
Thanks to the organization of regular discussions aimed at promoting reflection on workstation safety, each employee is empowered to make safety a key issue in his or her daily work.
Fostering human development
Fostering human development
We conduct an active policy on employee upskilling and training. This policy is key to promoting operational excellence and staff engagement.
- Novacel has its in-house school academy not only for training apprentices but also for whole-career skill development. This training is being developed initially in manufacturing in France and Italy, but it will be rolled out to other job families and areas in the future.
- Each new employee benefits from an induction program covering all the company's departments.
