Colombes/France – Arkema is setting up its new headquarters in the heart of La Défense, Europe’s largest business district, an ideal location to host its various partners, symbolizing a new milestone in the Group's transformation. Inspired by Arkema's know-how, values, and commitment to CSR, these new premises are designed to combine quality of life at work with collective performance.

With a floor area of approximately 25,000 m2, Lightwell, Arkema's new head office, aims to be a benchmark not only in terms of workspace but also of living space.

Furthermore, designed to anticipate the energy standards of 2050, Lightwell operates entirely on renewable energy, and aims for HQE Exceptional and Breeam Excellent certifications.
