Professional organizations – helping to improve industry
The Arkema group is involved with many French, European and international professional organizations in order to exchange best practices and share experiences.
As part of its endorsement of the Responsible Care® program, the Arkema group considers that it is its duty to contribute to the development of HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) policies and best practices.
It actively participates in various committees and working groups in professional organizations and federations in the chemical industry. The Arkema group feels that exchanges within these organizations can serve as the driving force for progress in the area of social responsibility.
