New Year Greetings
Dear Colleagues,
I’d like to take the opportunity of the New Year Greetings to
share some highlights about our Group achievements in 2016.
First, last year we celebrated the 10 Year Anniversary of Arkema Group. We
did it with our business partners, customers, suppliers. We did it with our
employees and their families, too. Arkema is a young Group but it has become
a really innovative specialty chemical company. In parallel, we’re developing
our communication. For instance, we’ve launched WeChat platform, Bostik
organized the customer events on the Bund in Shanghai. And we’re developing
corporate social responsibility activities such as support to migrants’ children
schools, and in doing so, we received an award from Arkema fund for
education. In 2016, Arkema financial performance increased a lot in China
with completing the deployment of our new SAP based Supply Chain program
‘Ambition’ in China and in all Asia.
The safety results were not that good. We had too many incidents last year.
