Chemistry is at the heart of today’s major transformations. Since its creation 20 years ago, Arkema has chosen innovation as a driver to contribute—together with its customers and partners—to a more sustainable and lower-carbon world. Our teams design adhesives, polymers and high-performance materials to meet growing demand, particularly in the key sectors of the ecological transition: renewable and low-carbon energy, electric mobility, energy efficiency and advanced electronics. As Chairman and CEO of Arkema since 2004, I am proud to lead this highly international company, listed on the stock exchange in 2006, now among the world leaders in specialty materials. I share this commitment and passion every day with our 20,000 employees across 55 countries. In a rapidly changing world, shaped by climate change and geopolitical uncertainty, the Arkema teams and I rely on our core values to guide our actions: responsibility, performance, solidarity, inclusion and simplicity. We have always sought to combine commercial, financial and industrial success with strong ethical and human values, as well as close and constructive dialogue with civil society. This commitment is reflected in our many corporate philanthropy initiatives and field actions, particularly in support of social inclusion and sport for all. And if you believe, as I do—and as filmmaker Xavier Dolan so well put it—that “everything is possible for those who dream, dare, work hard and never give up,” then join us at Arkema and help write the next chapter of our story.
