The global crisis related to the spread of COVID-19 is forcing businesses worldwide to adjust and adapt.  At Univar Solutions, we are committed to continuing to provide essential services and infrastructure support to distribute products that help maintain the essential infrastructure of society. 

We provide essential services and infrastructure support:

The US Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has determined that our operations are essential to continued critical infrastructure viability.  We distribute products on behalf of large manufacturers such as Dow Chemical, Dupont, BASF, Cargill, Eastman, Georgia Pacific, Exxon Mobil, Honeywell, Ingredion and many others. The products we distribute help maintain the essential infrastructure of society including helping to provide clean drinking water, waste water treatment, health care facility sanitization and are used within food, pharmaceutical, and medical device manufacturing, utilities processing, oil and gas refineries, on military installations, and in the production of other basic societal necessities. 

Practicing “Social Distancing” During the Interview Process:

“Serious about safety” is one of our core values as a company and we want to ensure that this value extends to our candidates.  Our Talent Acquisition team will conduct phone interviews with candidates as the initial step in the interview process.  When candidates progress, we will schedule video or phone interviews between the hiring manager and candidates.  Our goal is that all candidates have a consistent, fair, and quality experience throughout our interview process.

When hired, we will continue to be “Serious about safety”

The health and safety of our people, customers, suppliers, and communities is a top priority.  We will follow the advice from government agencies and health care organizations to exercise good judgement when determining where newly hired employees will begin their career.  Should a role be reportable in the field, a thorough training of all safety measures will be conducted.
