Arkema has successfully placed a €500 million green bond with an 8-year maturity and an annual coupon of 3.50 per cent. This new issuance builds on the company’s first green bond launched five years ago to finance its fully bio-based Rilsan polyamide 11 plant in Singapore, marking another milestone in aligning its financing strategy with its long-term sustainability roadmap.

The net proceeds from this bond will be allocated to the financing or refinancing of strategic programs that support sustainable development and the ramp-up of major investments initiated by the Group, most of which are consistent with the EU taxonomy criteria. By channeling funds into initiatives that directly address climate challenges and foster the development of innovative, eco-efficient solutions, Arkema is reinforcing its position as a key player in the transition to a low-carbon economy.

This issuance is carried out under Arkema’s Green Financing Framework, which encompasses projects focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency, eco-efficient products and processes adapted to the circular economy, sustainable construction, water management and treatment, as well as climate adaptation. The framework has been assessed by Moody’s and awarded an SQS2 “Very Good” Sustainability Quality Score, reflecting the Group’s strong sustainability performance and ambition.

With this new green bond, Arkema reaffirms its commitment to accelerating its transformation as a leader in specialty materials while delivering sustainable and innovative solutions for a better future.
