The key principles guiding our actions

In addition to the technical and operational aspects of our chemical operations, Common Ground® also embodies a commitment to developing and maintaining relationships of trust with society at large.
 

Listening 

 

Understanding concerns and expectations.

Because progress cannot be built on misunderstandings, listening to neighboring communities is central to the Common Ground® process. Opinion surveys are conducted on a regular basis in partnership with the French opinion polls institute Sofres.
  

Establishing a dialog 

 

Explaining the end-purpose of our products, the nature of our activities, and the operation of our plants.

In order to establish a regular dialog, Arkema fosters community relations, in particular by regularly opening up its industrial facilities to the outside world, and by developing contacts with elected officials, local residents, local associations, and the world of education .
  

Moving forward 
  

Identifying and preventing risks.

By promoting a culture of risk prevention, Arkema seeks constant improvements in industrial safety and in environmental and health protection .
