Solvay e Pantys ampliam parceria para dar escala ao impacto social verificado em saúde e inclusão
Solvay and Pantys extend a three-year partnership to expand menstrual health and inclusion programs, using verified social credits to measure impact on education, work, and well-being.
The useful question is what changes for users, developers or buyers, and whether the announcement stays industry context or becomes something people can actually use.
Solvay and Pantys, a global femtech fashion brand, have renewed their collaboration with a three-year agreement to scale initiatives supporting menstrual health and social inclusion. The partnership, which began in 2017, combines Solvay’s sustainable chemistry—operating in Brazil as Rhodia—with Pantys’ clinically tested, reusable intimate wear designed for people with menstrual or incontinence needs. The collaboration aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on health, inclusion, and environmental sustainability.
Under the expanded agreement, Pantys will broaden its programs for vulnerable communities through product donations and educational initiatives, funded by Solvay. A key innovation is the introduction of social credits, independently verified units that quantify tangible improvements such as school attendance during menstruation, increased time for work or study, and enhanced health and well-being. The impact is measured using the W+ Standard developed by WOCAN and validated by independent audits, with credits tracked on the S&P Global platform for transparency.
The partnership aims to reach approximately 7,000 people in 2026, with a goal of exceeding 70,000 by 2028. Social credit generation is projected to rise from around 40,000 in 2026 to up to 450,000 by 2028, supporting the expansion of these initiatives. In Brazil, the collaboration has demonstrated how access to menstrual health solutions can create meaningful daily improvements, reinforcing the practical and significant impact of the partnership.
Solvay, a chemical company founded in 1863, employs over 8,400 people and reported €4.3 billion in net sales in 2025. The company focuses on sustainable solutions across industries, including air and water purification, food preservation, and eco-friendly textiles. Pantys, a certified B Corp, is a pioneer in sustainable femtech, offering clinically approved absorbent wear that reduces reliance on disposable products.
