Regulatory News:
Once again, Arkema (Paris:AKE) is ranked in the Dow Jones
Sustainability Indices among the top companies of the chemicals
sector in terms of social responsibility. Ranked third in the DJSI
World for 2022, the Group also maintained its second place in the
DJSI Europe and further improved its score.
For the third consecutive year, Arkema is ranked among the
top-performing companies in the Chemicals category, with a score
that continued to improve, reaching 83 out of 100 in Standard &
Poor's Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).
These globally recognized rankings reflect Arkema's commitment
and performance in environmental and social dimensions, as well as
in economic and governance matters.
This year, Arkema achieved very good results, more particularly
in the analysis and identification of material challenges, product
and water risk management, social and environmental reporting, and
occupational health and safety management.
"Our ambition in terms of corporate social responsibility is at
the heart of our strategy and culture. The Group’s development is
focused on innovative technologies and applications, positioned
towards sustainability. Arkema's teams are strongly committed to
meeting the challenge of decarbonation and supporting our customers
in their quest for sustainable performance. This new, very positive
ranking rewards their efforts and the steady progress they have
achieved" said Thierry Le Hénaff, Chairman and CEO of Arkema.
Arkema has set itself an ambitious target, based on an SBT
(Science Based Target) approach, to reduce its scope 1 and 2
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its scope 3 emissions by 46% by
2030 relative to 2019. Last July the Group thus raised its level of
commitment from well below 2°C to 1.5°C, now also including scope 3
emissions, and is acting on a daily basis to limit its carbon
footprint.
Finally, Arkema places inclusion and diversity at the heart of
its success, capitalizing on the differences of profiles and
experience to carry out the Group’s transformation, and all those
elements were recognized in this 2022 ranking.
Building on its unique set of expertise in materials science,
Arkema offers a portfolio of first-class technologies to address
ever-growing demand for new and sustainable materials. With the
ambition to become in 2024 a pure player in Specialty Materials,
the Group is structured into 3 complementary, resilient and highly
innovative segments dedicated to Specialty Materials - Adhesive
Solutions, Advanced Materials, and Coating Solutions - accounting
for some 85.5% of Group sales in 2021, and a well-positioned and
competitive Intermediates segment. Arkema offers cutting-edge
technological solutions to meet the challenges of, among other
things, new energies, access to water, recycling, urbanization and
mobility, and fosters a permanent dialogue with all its
stakeholders. The Group reported sales of around €9.5 billion in
2021, and operates in some 55 countries with 20,200 employees
worldwide.
