The Financial Times has just released its latest “Europe's Diversity Leaders 2026” ranking, which lists the 800 most inclusive European companies that best embody diversity. Ranked in the Top 100, Arkema has made significant progress this year.
Arkema ranks 94th in the Financial Times' latest ranking of diversity champions: a remarkable leap from the 288th place we occupied in 2025.
The Group also ranks 15th among French companies (vs. 60th in 2025) and 3rd in its sector (vs. 9th in 2025).
The ranking, based 70% on an employee survey and 30% on objective diversity indicators (representation of women in senior management and executive positions, inclusive internal and external communication by the company in favor of diversity, and external data), reflects the perception and actual commitments of European companies.
"This good ranking for Arkema is something to be proud of! It is objective recognition that diversity and inclusion are concrete levers for commitment and progress at all levels of the Group. It confirms that our approach is bearing fruit: for us, inclusion is not a concept, it is a deep conviction that drives our teams on a daily basis. It is based on respect, tolerance, and openness.
We must continue to make our Group an inclusive ecosystem, a place where every talent can find their place and flourish, and where every voice counts, regardless of origin, nationality, gender, or even age."
Thierry Parmentier, Executive Vice President Human Resources and Corporate Communication.
