The values we stand for
We base our global strategy and everyday operations on strong values and principles:
Solidarity
Individual talent is little or nothing without collective strength. And solidarity is one of Arkema’s great strengths. It is the foundation of One Arkema. Knowing how to work as a team without butting egos but listening to each other, is vital.
Performance
Performance is the cornerstone of any business. Arkema is very demanding in this area. Financial performance and operational performance, of course, but also a more qualitative and collective performance. Performance means excellence. It also evokes the performance of our materials.
Empowerment
This is the contract of trust. The ability to know how to delegate and to be convinced that each person, whatever their level, can and must make a difference.
Simplicity
Simplicity is a way of being, a state of mind. It means remaining humble and knowing how to question oneself. It is a particular way of operating, all the more important in today’s complex world. It’s knowing how to manage your priorities and go straight to the essentials, presenting things simply so as to encourage agility and efficiency.
Inclusion
The social role of the company is increasingly evident. And it cannot just stop at the company’s doorstep. It includes all stakeholders. Diversity and inclusion go hand in hand. We must be exemplary in this area. Everyone must be involved, because diversity is an essential asset for the Group to achieve its ambitions.

"France represents 35% of Arkema's workforce. This renewal of our Top Employer recognition is a real reward for all the HR teams that support our employees on a daily basis.” Raphaële Grivel, Head of HR development for France.
