⚽️ Sport as a symbol of our values Sports represent more than just competition; they embody our commitment to engagement and inclusion. Promoting women’s role in society through sports is one of our driving forces. Initially, as a partner of the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019™, and then by establishing an ambitious sponsorship with D1 Arkema (now renamed “Arkema Première Ligue”), we aim to drive change. Our ambition is to celebrate women and enhance their positions on the sports field, in Society and within the company. In 2023, nearly a third of our senior management and executive positions were held by women, and we aim to exceed 30% by 2030. Our partnerships with the French national Women's Football team and support for local clubs, such as FC Serquigny-Nassandres and SC Thiberville in Normandy (France), and NC Courage in North Carolina (USA), demonstrate our global commitment. These efforts are part of our mission to boost women’s football at both amateur and professional levels, and to support gender equality and inclusivity. 🔗 Read more about it here: http://arke.ma/y4Jc50SSRuM #AtTheHeartOfSport #Inclusion

[#FinancialResults] We achieved a solid growth in our second-quarter results evidenced by a strong EBITDA margin in a persistently challenging macroeconomic environment. "Arkema delivered a good financial performance in the second quarter, highlighted by a strong EBITDA margin at 18% while the economic environment remained challenging, in line with previous quarters and with no clear signs of market recovery. Once again, our teams mobilized to strictly manage costs and working capital, and to successfully carry out our key industrial projects. Beyond the figures, we are particularly pleased with the growth in adhesives and in the Coating Solutions segment’s downstream activities, as well as with the ramp-up of PIAM in Asia. We have also made solid progress in the new polyamide 11 unit in Singapore, stated Thierry Le Hénaff, Chairman and CEO of Arkema. In the second half, our focus will remain on the completion or ramp-up of our key projects and on the strict management of our operations. The closing of the recent acquisition of Dow's flexible packaging laminating adhesives business expected in the fourth quarter will also constitute an important milestone for the Group. At the end of the year, Arkema will have thus completed a unique set of major attractive projects, most of them already fully financed. Going into 2025, we will leverage those investments in order to deliver significant earnings growth." Arkema. Innovative #materials for a sustainable world. 👉 http://arke.ma/wbU050SOQvG
