In France, Arkema sites joined forces to support those most in need, working alongside renowned organizations such as the Red Cross and Secours Populaire.
Teams at CETIA, CRRA, and Pierre-Bénite prepared “solidarity boxes” filled with essential items and thoughtful gifts to bring comfort. The Feuchy site partnered with the initiative “A Christmas Gift for the Most Vulnerable – Shoe Boxes Arras”, helping many families enjoy a warmer holiday season.
In the Southwest, the Lacq-Mourenx, Mont, Lannemezan, and GRL sites took part in Secours Populaire’s Green Santa campaign, donating toys and treats for children. At Serquigny and Cerdato in Normandy, employees organized a gift collection for young children in collaboration with the Red Cross, while the La Défense headquarters supported the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Conference in Colombes.
Finally, the Jarrie site exemplifies Arkema’s long-standing commitment: on December 5, it donated chocolates and sweets to Secours Populaire of the city of Vizille Drac Romanche, continuing a partnership of more than ten years. School supplies, hygiene products, Christmas toys—these initiatives reflect the teams’ ongoing efforts to support local families. As Damien Gaspard, Secretary of the Drac-Romanche Committee, emphasized: “These gestures show that solidarity can be found everywhere to help those in extreme need. It plays an important role in reducing inequalities.”
