In our Fluorochemicals business, Arkema supports
the global phasedown of high-global warming
potential (GWP) hydroﬂuorocarbons (HFC)
under the Kigali Agreement1 by investing in the
development of HFOs and other lower-GWP nextgeneration materials as well as other innovations
for the industry. ASHRAE enables extensive
dialogue among numerous stakeholders, including
Arkema, and provides the industry a forum to
consider a wide range of solutions as the diﬀerent
regions of the world coalesce in creating a more
environmentally friendly tomorrow.
Arkema Group has structured its strategy around
six innovation platforms for a sustainable world:
