Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant accounting policies	2. Significant accounting policies Basis of presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) as applicable to interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated financial statements, in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Univar Solutions includes the combined results of all directly and indirectly controlled companies, which have been adjusted to account for the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Beginning with the first quarter of 2021, the Company recorded the change in the fair value of the warrants in other income (expense), net to properly reflect the non-operating nature of the warrant liability. The Company reclassified the change in the fair value of the warrants in its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 from other operating expenses, net to other income (expense), net to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the change in the fair value is now presented separately as fair value adjustments for warrants, which was previously included in other, net, to conform to the current year presentation. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In January 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes” (Topic 740) – “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which clarifies and simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions for intra-period tax allocation principles, updating the methodology for calculating income tax rates in an interim period and aligning the recognition of deferred taxes for outside basis differences in an investment, among other updates. The adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848) – “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform from currently referenced rates, such as LIBOR, to alternative rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848) that clarifies the scope of ASU 2020-04. The ASU’s were effective beginning March 12, 2020 and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently determining the impacts of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business combinations	3. Business combinations On December 18, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the specialty silicone solutions business of Zhuhai Techi Chem Silicone Industry Corporation (“Techi Chem”), a leading distributor of specialty silicone solutions used primarily for the coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (“CASE”) market within the China marketplace. The goal of the Techi Chem acquisition is to enhance the Company’s ability to bring differential value to customers and suppliers within the CASE market. The purchase price of this acquisition was $6.8 million, comprised of $4.6 million cash paid and a $2.2 million contingent consideration component. Refer to “Note 15: Fair value measurements” for further information on the contingent consideration liability. As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation consisting of goodwill of $3.5 million, intangible assets of $2.7 million, inventories of $1.0 million and other current assets and deferred tax liabilities of $(0.4) million. The goodwill is included in the LATAM segment and is primarily attributable to expected synergies. The Company does not expect the goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes. The identified intangible assets were related to customer relationships which have a weighted-average amortization period of eight years. The operating results subsequent to the acquisition date did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. As of March 31, 2021, the Company updated the purchase price allocation to reflect final deferred income tax adjustments, resulting in a $0.7 million decrease to goodwill. The accounting for this acquisition was complete as of March 31, 2021.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Dispositions	4. Dispositions On April 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Distrupol business within the EMEA segment for total cash proceeds of $136.7 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a $87.6 million pre-tax gain on sale of business in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, net of a release of cumulative foreign currency translation losses of $18.1 million (refer to “Note 12: Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for more information). The sale of the Distrupol business is exempt from tax under local country subsidiary participation exemptions. The impact of the sale on US income taxes was minimal. The sale of this business does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial statements because the disposition does not represent a strategic shift that had, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The following summarizes the income before income taxes attributable to this business: Three months ended June 30, 2020 Six months ended June 30, (in millions) 2021 2020 Income before income taxes $ 2.9 $ 3.9 $ 5.2 On November 30, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its Canadian Agriculture services business for total net cash proceeds of $39.3 million after closing transaction-related expenses. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $31.5 million pre-tax loss on sale of business in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a favorable adjustment of $0.7 million, decreasing the loss on sale recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020. The sale of this business did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial statements because the disposition did not represent a strategic shift that had, or will have, a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The following summarizes the income before income taxes attributable to this business: (in millions) Three months ended June 30, 2020 Six months ended June 30, 2020 Income before income taxes $ 1.1 $ 3.1 On September 1, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its industrial spill and emergency response businesses to EnviroServe Inc. for total net cash proceeds of $6.2 million after transaction-related expenses. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $9.3 million pre-tax loss on sale of business in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, we recorded estimated and final net working capital adjustments of $1.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, increasing the loss on sale recorded in the third quarter of 2020. The sale of these businesses did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial statements because the dispositions did not represent a strategic shift that had, or will have, a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The following summarizes the loss before income taxes attributable to these businesses: (in millions) Three months ended June 30, 2020 Six months ended June 30, 2020 Loss before income taxes $ (19.5) $ (26.1)

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	5. Revenue The Company disaggregates revenues from contracts with customers by both geographic reportable segments and revenue contract types. Geographic reportable segmentation is pertinent to understanding Univar Solutions’ revenues, as it aligns to how the Company reviews the financial performance of its operations. Revenue contract types are differentiated by the type of good or service Univar Solutions offers customers, since the contractual terms necessary for revenue recognition are unique to each of the identified revenue contract types. The following tables disaggregate external customer net sales by major stream: USA EMEA Canada LATAM Consolidated (in millions) Three months ended June 30, 2021 Chemical Distribution $ 1,428.7 $ 504.0 $ 233.9 $ 148.8 $ 2,315.4 Services 71.5 — 4.7 2.5 78.7 Total external customer net sales $ 1,500.2 $ 504.0 $ 238.6 $ 151.3 $ 2,394.1 USA EMEA Canada LATAM Consolidated (in millions) Three months ended June 30, 2020 Chemical Distribution $ 1,097.1 $ 409.3 $ 172.0 $ 96.8 $ 1,775.2 Crop Sciences — — 147.4 — 147.4 Services 72.3 0.3 12.1 1.9 86.6 Total external customer net sales $ 1,169.4 $ 409.6 $ 331.5 $ 98.7 $ 2,009.2 USA EMEA Canada LATAM Consolidated (in millions) Six months ended June 30, 2021 Chemical Distribution $ 2,650.9 $ 1,009.7 $ 452.6 $ 280.8 $ 4,394.0 Services 142.3 0.2 8.7 4.3 155.5 Total external customer net sales $ 2,793.2 $ 1,009.9 $ 461.3 $ 285.1 $ 4,549.5 USA EMEA Canada LATAM Consolidated (in millions) Six months ended June 30, 2020 Chemical Distribution $ 2,367.6 $ 869.2 $ 380.3 $ 202.1 $ 3,819.2 Crop Sciences — — 211.8 — 211.8 Services 159.3 0.7 25.2 4.2 189.4 Total external customer net sales $ 2,526.9 $ 869.9 $ 617.3 $ 206.3 $ 4,220.4 Deferred revenue Deferred revenues are recognized as contract liabilities when customers provide Univar Solutions with consideration prior to the Company satisfying the performance obligations and are recognized in revenue when the performance obligations are met. Deferred revenues relate to revenues that are expected to be recognized within one year and are recorded within the other accrued expenses line items of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenues as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $5.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Revenue recognized through the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period were $4.6 million and $64.4 million, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in revenue recognized from contract liabilities is primarily due to the prior year wind down of the Canadian Agriculture wholesale distribution business which was operationally completed by December 31, 2020.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring charges	7. Restructuring charges Restructuring charges relate to the implementation of several regional strategic initiatives aimed at streamlining the Company’s cost structure and improving its operations. These actions primarily resulted in workforce reductions and other facility rationalization costs. Restructuring charges are recorded in other operating expenses, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. 2020 Restructuring During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company approved a plan to wind down its Canadian Agriculture wholesale distribution business as part of an in-depth review of the changing dynamics within the agriculture industry. The actions associated with this program were substantially complete as of December 31, 2020. During 2021, the Company adjusted its previously disclosed estimate and recorded an additional charge to earnings of $0.1 million within employee termination costs. As a result of this plan, we recorded the following charges: (in millions) Three months ended June 30, 2021 Six months ended June 30, 2021 Cumulative costs Anticipated total costs Canada: Employee termination costs $ (0.1) $ 0.1 $ 1.8 $ 1.8 Other exit costs — — 2.2 2.2 Total $ (0.1) $ 0.1 $ 4.0 $ 4.0 The following table summarizes activity related to accrued liabilities associated with restructuring: (in millions) January 1, 2021 Charge to earnings Cash paid Non-cash and other June 30, 2021 Employee termination costs $ 3.2 $ 0.1 $ (3.6) $ 1.2 $ 0.9 Facility exit costs 1.4 — — (1.3) 0.1 Other exit costs 2.5 — (1.5) — 1.0 Total $ 7.1 $ 0.1 $ (5.1) $ (0.1) $ 2.0 (in millions) January 1, 2020 Charge to earnings Cash paid Non-cash and other December 31, 2020 Employee termination costs $ 3.7 $ 11.7 $ (12.4) $ 0.2 $ 3.2 Facility exit costs 1.9 — (0.5) — 1.4 Other exit costs 0.2 2.2 — 0.1 2.5 Total $ 5.8 $ 13.9 $ (12.9) $ 0.3 $ 7.1

The Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate without discrete items was 30.5%, higher than the US federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to higher rates on foreign earnings, US tax on foreign earnings, US state income taxes, and non-deductible employee costs. Discrete tax benefits of $4.6 million and $13.5 million are included in the $11.6 million and $11.3 million income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, primarily attributable to the impairment of unrealizable assets and benefits from provisions under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020. The Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate without discrete items was 32.1%, higher than the US federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to the impact of the higher tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, non-deductible expenses and US state income taxes.

Senior Term Loan Facilities In the second quarter of 2021, to secure favorable market rates of interest and extend principal maturities, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment (“Sixth Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated July 1, 2015, which provided a new Term B-6 Loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion that matures on June 3, 2028 (“Term B-6 Loan”). The proceeds from the new Term B-6 Loan and an incremental borrowing of $274.2 million under the Company's existing North American ABL facility were used to repay in full the outstanding Term B-3 Loan facility and satisfy related lending and refinancing fees. The Term B-6 Loan is payable in quarterly installments of 0.25% of the aggregate initial principal amount beginning in September 2021. The interest rate applicable to the Term B-6 Loan is based on, at the borrower’s option, (i) a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.00% or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00% (in each case with a 0.25% step down based on the achievement of a specific leverage level). The Company can voluntarily prepay the Term B-6 Loan in whole or part without penalty, except for a 1.00% premium applicable to prepayments made prior to the six-month anniversary of the Sixth Amendment in connection with certain defined events. As a result of the issuance of the Term B-6 Loan and the Sixth Amendment, and the repayment of the Term B-3 Loan, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million and debt refinancing costs of $6.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Refer to “Note 8: Other income (expense), net” for more information on debt refinancing costs. On January 7, 2020, using the proceeds from the sale of the Environmental Sciences business, the Company repaid $174.0 million of the Term B-3 Loan due 2024. As a result of this prepayment, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. ABL Facilities On February 26, 2021, using the proceeds from the sale of the Canadian Agriculture services business and existing cash, the Company repaid $47.1 million of debt outstanding under the Canadian ABL Term Loan. As a result of this prepayment, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Canadian ABL Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments, beginning June 30, 2020, with a final maturity on February 28, 2022. However, as a result of optional prepayments made by the Company in 2019 and 2021, the loan is expected to be fully paid by December 31, 2021.

Supplemental balance sheet information	14. Supplemental balance sheet information Cash and cash equivalents Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries participate in a multi-currency, notional cash pooling arrangement with a third-party bank provider in order to help manage global liquidity requirements (the “Notional Cash Pool”). Under the Notional Cash Pool, cash deposited by participating subsidiaries is pledged as security against the overdraft balances of other participating subsidiaries, providing legal rights of offset. As a result, the balances are presented on a net basis within cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2021, the net cash position of the Notional Cash Pool was $11.2 million, which consisted of a gross cash balance of $201.1 million less a bank overdraft balance of $189.9 million. As of December 31, 2020, the net cash position of the Notional Cash Pool was $52.7 million, which consisted of a gross cash balance of $89.7 million less a bank overdraft balance of $37.0 million. Allowance for doubtful accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the trade accounts receivable. Collectability of the trade accounts receivable balance is assessed on an ongoing basis and determined based on the delinquency of customer accounts, the financial condition of individual customers, past collections experience and future economic expectations. The change in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows: (in millions) Balance, January 1, 2021 $ 17.2 Provision for credit losses 6.4 Write-offs (4.3) Balance, June 30, 2021 $ 19.3 Property, plant and equipment, net (in millions) June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Property, plant and equipment, at cost $ 2,227.5 $ 2,216.4 Less: accumulated depreciation (1,199.1) (1,150.7) Property, plant and equipment, net $ 1,028.4 $ 1,065.7 Goodwill The following is a summary of the activity in goodwill by segment.

The estimated annual amortization expense in each of the next five years is as follows: (in millions) 2021 $ 52.8 2022 45.0 2023 39.3 2024 32.3 2025 28.6 Other accrued expenses As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, other accrued expenses that were greater than five percent of total current liabilities consisted of current tax liabilities of $89.6 million and $73.4 million, respectively, comprised primarily of VAT, income and local indirect taxes payable. Impairment charges The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Testing asset groups for recoverability involves developing estimates of future cash flows directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, the use and eventual disposition of the assets. An impairment of a group of long-lived assets exists when the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated directly by the asset group are less than the carrying value of the asset group. The impairment charge computation is based on the difference between carrying value and fair value of the asset group, as determined by discounted future cash flows. Significant estimates include forecasted Adjusted EBITDA, working capital, capital expenditures and discount rates. As the inputs for testing recoverability and determining fair value of the asset groups are largely based on management’s judgments and are not generally observable in active markets, the Company considers such inputs to be Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company announced the closure of certain operating facilities in the USA and Canada segments. The closures resulted in impairment charges related to property, plant and equipment, net of $2.1 million within the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company determined there was a more likely than not expectation that the industrial spill and emergency response businesses within the USA segment would be sold. The Company determined this to be a triggering event, requiring the assessment of the recoverability of these long-lived asset groups. The Company tested the recoverability and determined the assets to be impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash, pretax impairment charge of $15.5 million, consisting of $12.8 million of intangible assets, net and $2.7 million of property, plant and equipment, net within the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company announced the closure of certain operating facilities in the USA segment during the second quarter of 2020. The closures resulted in impairment charges related to property, plant and equipment, net of $1.4 million within the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Fair value measurements The following is a reconciliation of the fair value measurements that use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which consists of the warrant liability related to the 2019 Nexeo acquisition and contingent consideration liabilities (i.e. earn-outs) related to the Techi Chem acquisition: (in millions) Warrant Liability Contingent Consideration Fair value at December 31, 2020 $ 33.8 $ 2.2 Fair value adjustments (33.8) — Fair value at June 30, 2021 $ — $ 2.2 During the three months ended June 30, 2021, a portion of the outstanding warrants were exercised at a price of $27.80 resulting in the issuance of 973,717 shares of common stock and the receipt of approximately $27.1 million in cash proceeds. All remaining warrants expired unexercised on June 9, 2021 with the write-off of the fair value of such warrants recorded within other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has no outstanding warrants. The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on a real options approach, which takes into account management's best estimate of the acquired business performance, as well as achievement risk, and is recorded in other accrued expenses within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair value adjustments for contingent consideration are recorded within other operating expenses, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in the other, net line item of the operating activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Cash payments up to the amount of the original acquisition value are recorded within financing activities of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The portion of contingent consideration cash payments in excess of the original acquisition value, if any, are recorded within operating activities of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	16. Derivatives Foreign currency derivatives The Company uses forward currency contracts to hedge earnings from the effects of foreign exchange relating to certain of the Company’s intercompany and third-party receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. These derivative instruments are not formally designated as cash flow hedges by the Company and the terms of these instruments range from one Interest rate swap contracts The objective of the Company's designated interest rate swap contracts is to offset the variability of cash flows in LIBOR indexed debt interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate related to the Term B-6 Loan (previously the Term B-3 Loan) and a portion of debt outstanding under the North American ABL Facility. On June 4, 2021, the Company executed two interest rate swap contracts, both effective June 30, 2023 to replace existing interest rate swap contracts with maturities occurring between June 2023 and June 2024. These interest rate swap contracts contain an initial aggregate notional value of $250.0 million from June 2023 to June 2024 that increase to an aggregate notional value of $500.0 million from June 2024 to May 2028. On March 17, 2020, the Company executed $250.0 million of interest rate swap contracts effective June 30, 2020 to replace swaps with maturities on June 30, 2020. Cross currency swap contracts Cross currency swap contracts are used to effectively convert the Term B-5 Loan’s principal amount of floating rate US dollar denominated debt, including interest payments, to fixed-rate Euro denominated debt. The cross currency swap contracts mature in November 2024. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 95% of the cross currency swap contracts are designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company uses undesignated interest rate swap contracts and cross currency swap contracts to manage interest rate variability and mitigate foreign exchange exposure. Notional amounts and fair value of derivative instruments The following table presents the notional amounts of the Company’s outstanding derivative instruments by type: (in millions) June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Designated Derivatives: Interest rate swap contracts $ 900.0 $ 1,050.0 Cross currency swap contracts 381.0 381.0 Undesignated Derivatives: Interest rate swap contracts $ 100.0 $ 200.0 Foreign currency derivatives 129.6 77.2 Cross currency swap contracts 19.0 19.0 The following are the pre-tax effects of derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020: Statement of Operations Classification Amount of (loss) gain reclassified from other comprehensive loss into income Amount of (loss) gain to be reclassified to consolidated statement of operations within the next 12 months Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships: Interest rate swap contracts Interest expense $ (4.3) $ (2.2) $ (9.1) $ (3.1) $ (14.0) Cross currency swap contracts Interest expense 0.3 0.8 0.6 2.7 1.3 Cross currency swap contracts Other income (expense), net (4.3) (6.9) 11.3 (0.7) — Refer to “Note 8: Other income (expense), net” for the gains and losses related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

The net amounts related to forward currency contracts included in other accrued expenses were $0.3 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of swaps is determined by estimating the net present value of amounts to be paid under the agreement offset by the net present value of the expected cash inflows based on market rates and associated yield curves. Based on these valuation methodologies, these derivative contracts are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and contingencies	17. Commitments and contingencies Litigation In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to pending or threatened claims, lawsuits, regulatory matters and administrative proceedings from time to time. Where appropriate the Company has recorded provisions in the consolidated financial statements for these matters. The liabilities for injuries to persons or property are in some instances covered by liability insurance, subject to various deductibles and self-insured retentions. The Company is not aware of any claims, lawsuits, regulatory matters or administrative proceedings, pending or threatened, that are likely to have a material effect on its overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of any present or future claims or litigation or the potential for future claims or litigation and adverse developments could negatively impact earnings or cash flows in a particular future period. The Company is subject to liabilities from claims alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos. The claims result primarily from an indemnification obligation related to Univar Solutions USA Inc.’s (“Univar”) 1986 purchase of McKesson Chemical Company from McKesson Corporation (“McKesson”). Once certain conditions have been met, Univar will have the ability to pursue insurance coverage, if any, that may be available under McKesson's historical insurance coverage to offset the impact of any fees, settlements, or judgments that Univar is obligated to pay because of its obligation to defend and indemnify McKesson. As of June 30, 2021, there were approximately 227 asbestos-related cases for which Univar has the obligation to defend and indemnify; however, this number tends to fluctuate up and down over time. Historically, the vast majority of these asbestos cases have been dismissed without payment or with a nominal payment. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters, it does not believe, based upon currently available facts, that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material effect on its overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Unclaimed Property Audit The Company and its subsidiaries are the subject of an unclaimed property audit request issued by the State of Delaware. The State of Delaware retained a contingent-fee private audit firm to conduct the audit. In October 2018, the State of Delaware issued a subpoena to the Company requesting a broad swath of records and information purportedly necessary to perform the audit (the “Subpoena”). After receiving the Subpoena, the Company objected and also initiated a lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the District of Delaware challenging the constitutionality of the Subpoena and other provisions of Delaware’s escheats law, which case is ongoing (the “Lawsuit”). In response to the Lawsuit, the State of Delaware filed a competing enforcement action in the Delaware Court of Chancery in order to compel the Company to comply with the Subpoena. The Lawsuit has been stayed pending the resolution of the enforcement action. In October 2020, the Delaware Court of Chancery deemed the Subpoena enforceable, subject to some limitations, but stayed enforcement of the Subpoena until the Company’s claims in the Lawsuit are resolved by the District Court. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and believes it has strong defenses. The timing and outcome of these proceedings or any unclaimed property audits that may be subsequently conducted as a result of the outcome of the proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Environmental The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that require environmental assessment or remediation efforts (collectively “environmental remediation work”) and from time to time becomes aware of compliance matters regarding possible or alleged violations of these laws or regulations. For example, over the years, the Company has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and/or similar state laws that impose liability for costs relating to environmental remediation work at various sites. As a PRP, the Company may be required to pay a share of the costs of investigation and cleanup of certain sites. The Company is currently engaged in environmental remediation work at approximately 126 locations, some that are now or were previously Company-owned/occupied and some that were never Company-owned/occupied (“non-owned sites”). The Company’s environmental remediation work at some sites is being conducted pursuant to governmental proceedings or investigations. At other sites, the Company, with appropriate state or federal agency oversight and approval, is conducting the environmental remediation work voluntarily. The Company is currently undergoing remediation efforts or is in the process of active review of the need for potential remediation efforts at approximately 106 current or formerly Company-owned/occupied sites. In addition, the Company may be liable as a PRP for a share of the clean-up of approximately 20 non-owned sites. These non-owned sites are typically (a) locations of independent waste disposal or recycling operations with alleged or confirmed contaminated soil and/or groundwater to which the Company may have shipped waste products or drums for re-conditioning, or (b) contaminated non-owned sites near historical sites owned or operated by the Company or its predecessors from which contamination is alleged to have arisen. In determining the appropriate level of environmental reserves, the Company considers several factors such as information obtained from investigatory studies; changes in the scope of remediation; the interpretation, application and enforcement of laws and regulations; changes in the costs of remediation programs; the development of alternative cleanup technologies and methods; and the relative level of the Company’s involvement at various sites for which the Company is allegedly associated. The level of annual expenditures for remedial, monitoring and investigatory activities will change in the future as major components of planned remediation activities are completed and the scope, timing and costs of existing activities are changed. Project lives, and therefore cash flows, range from 2 to 30 years, depending on the specific site and type of remediation project. Although the Company believes that its reserves are adequate for environmental contingencies, it is possible, due to the uncertainties noted above, that additional reserves could be required in the future that could have a material effect on the overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in a particular period. Changes in total environmental liabilities are as follows: (in millions) Environmental liabilities at December 31, 2020 $ 79.6 Revised obligation estimates 7.4 Environmental payments (7.5) Foreign exchange (0.1) Environmental liabilities at June 30, 2021 $ 79.4 (in millions) Balance Sheet Classification June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Current environmental liabilities Other accrued expenses $ 24.4 $ 26.5 Long-term environmental liabilities Other long-term liabilities 55.0 53.1

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	19. Segments Management monitors the operating results of its reportable segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Management evaluates performance on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income, plus the sum of: interest expense, net of interest income; income tax expense; depreciation; amortization; impairment charges; (gain) loss on sale of business; loss on extinguishment of debt; other operating expenses, net (see “Note 6: Other operating expenses, net”); and other income (expense), net (see “Note 8: Other income (expense), net”). For 2020, Adjusted EBITDA also includes an adjustment to remove a Brazil VAT charge. Transfer prices between reportable segments are set on an arms-length basis in a similar manner to transactions with third parties. Corporate operating expenses that directly benefit segments have been allocated to the reportable segments. Allocable operating expenses are identified through a review process by management. The allocable operating expenses are assigned to the reportable segments on a basis that reasonably approximates the use of services, which is generally measured based on a weighted distribution of margin, asset, headcount or time spent. Financial information for the Company’s reportable segments is as follows: USA EMEA Canada LATAM Other/Eliminations (1) Consolidated (in millions) Three months ended June 30, 2021 External customers $ 1,500.2 $ 504.0 $ 238.6 $ 151.3 $ — $ 2,394.1 Inter-segment 19.5 1.9 1.3 — (22.7) — Total net sales $ 1,519.7 $ 505.9 $ 239.9 $ 151.3 $ (22.7) $ 2,394.1 Adjusted EBITDA $ 125.6 $ 47.8 $ 25.0 $ 13.3 $ (14.2) $ 197.5 Long-lived assets (2) $ 789.7 $ 192.1 $ 142.8 $ 37.1 $ 21.5 $ 1,183.2 USA EMEA Canada LATAM Other/Eliminations (1) Consolidated (in millions) Three months ended June 30, 2020 External customers $ 1,169.4 $ 409.6 $ 331.5 $ 98.7 $ — $ 2,009.2 Inter-segment 23.0 0.9 0.7 — (24.6) — Total net sales $ 1,192.4 $ 410.5 $ 332.2 $ 98.7 $ (24.6) $ 2,009.2 Adjusted EBITDA $ 95.2 $ 39.7 $ 25.2 $ 11.0 $ (7.9) $ 163.2 Long-lived assets (2) $ 824.8 $ 176.4 $ 185.8 $ 28.9 $ 40.3 $ 1,256.2 USA EMEA Canada LATAM Other/Eliminations (1) Consolidated (in millions) Six months ended June 30, 2021 External customers $ 2,793.2 $ 1,009.9 $ 461.3 $ 285.1 $ — $ 4,549.5 Inter-segment 36.9 2.7 2.0 — (41.6) — Total net sales $ 2,830.1 $ 1,012.6 $ 463.3 $ 285.1 $ (41.6) $ 4,549.5 Adjusted EBITDA $ 227.4 $ 98.4 $ 51.3 $ 28.9 $ (26.3) $ 379.7 Long-lived assets (2) $ 789.7 $ 192.1 $ 142.8 $ 37.1 $ 21.5 $ 1,183.2 USA EMEA Canada LATAM Other/Eliminations (1) Consolidated (in millions) Six months ended June 30, 2020 External customers $ 2,526.9 $ 869.9 $ 617.3 $ 206.3 $ — $ 4,220.4 Inter-segment 48.7 1.7 1.5 — (51.9) — Total net sales $ 2,575.6 $ 871.6 $ 618.8 $ 206.3 $ (51.9) $ 4,220.4 Adjusted EBITDA $ 191.8 $ 80.0 $ 52.5 $ 19.3 $ (18.8) $ 324.8 Long-lived assets (2) $ 824.8 $ 176.4 $ 185.8 $ 28.9 $ 40.3 $ 1,256.2 (1) Other/Eliminations represents the elimination of intersegment transactions, as well as, unallocated corporate costs consisting of costs specifically related to parent company operations that do not directly benefit segments, either individually or collectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) as applicable to interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated financial statements, in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Univar Solutions includes the combined results of all directly and indirectly controlled companies, which have been adjusted to account for the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Beginning with the first quarter of 2021, the Company recorded the change in the fair value of the warrants in other income (expense), net to properly reflect the non-operating nature of the warrant liability. The Company reclassified the change in the fair value of the warrants in its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 from other operating expenses, net to other income (expense), net to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the change in the fair value is now presented separately as fair value adjustments for warrants, which was previously included in other, net, to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements and Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted	Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In January 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes” (Topic 740) – “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which clarifies and simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions for intra-period tax allocation principles, updating the methodology for calculating income tax rates in an interim period and aligning the recognition of deferred taxes for outside basis differences in an investment, among other updates. The adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848) – “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform from currently referenced rates, such as LIBOR, to alternative rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848) that clarifies the scope of ASU 2020-04. The ASU’s were effective beginning March 12, 2020 and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently determining the impacts of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
