OUR STRATEGY
Our strategy
Our CSR policy, called SOCOWAY, was born with SOCO2024 strategy. Its signature “Sharing creates value” inspired our raison d'être: "Together we create innovative chemistry to protect and preserve our world", which in turn inspired our SOCO2030 strategic plan.
As a result, “Sharing creates value” is now at the heart of our strategic plan. The associated goals and resources are highly ambitious in all areas.
We are counting on everyone's mobilization to ensure that the trajectory initiated by 2030 collectively enables us to achieve and make possible our decarbonization and impact reduction goals by 2040 and 2050.

Our Raison d'être
Together, we create innovative chemistry
to protect and preserve our world
Together
the expression of the collective, the group that gives strength to act and go further. This implies collaboration, co-development and synergies between customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers and partners.
Create innovative chemistry
our expertise lies in chemistry and we rely on the questioning and the innovation, that are part of our DNA, to achieve this.
Protecting and sustaining our world
the chemistry we create protects and preserves the technical applications of our customers, but it also protects and preserves the people who use it and the environment in which they live.
Our vision
The aerospace market will continue to experience a strong activity in the mid to long term.
Facing environmental challenges, all our markets will evolve in an unknown timeline and in non linear way.
As a chemist we will be at the forefront of carbon footprint reduction and health challenges.
Our mission
Provide specialty chemicals significantly reducing impact on
environment and health.
Our ambition
- Keep serving our specialty chemicals markets and providing aerospace with more flyable products.
- Serve low impact markets*.

Our corporate values
Worldwide proximity
Socomore is developing globally and is equipped with the tools - factories and global supply chain - to accomplish this goal. However, our teams are local, connected, and close to our customers (same language and culture, listening to them, understanding their technical needs).
Responsive
We know how to be proactive, and are constantly adapting to the fluctuating constraints of our environment. Change is "normal", and we must be able to anticipate and address it.
Humbly enthusiastic
We are enthusiastic, willing, and know-how to remain humble in all circumstances. This encourages the trust and respect of our customers and partners and contributes to our collective successes.
Technologies
Our laboratories and the in-depth scientific expertise of our researchers in material physics, mineral chemistry, organic chemistry, and electrochemistry are the cornerstones of our product development strategy.
We offer our customers solutions whose environmental performance takes into account all regulatory developments in Health and Safety (HSE), including the European REACH regulation on the use of chemicals, and directives related to VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions. Our research protocols aim to reduce VOC emissions and replace hexavalent chromium and other CMR (Carcinogenic Mutagenic Reprotoxic) substances with new generations of products. These projects are supported by European agencies responsible for assisting innovative companies.
Our world presence
Our worlwide locations and partnerships,
together with the responsiveness of our teams,
allows us to be close to our customers and respond to their needs.
