Arkema: second-quarter 2021 results

The Group recorded excellent earnings growth in the second quarter, notably with EBITDA up 67% compared to 2020 and above the pre-crisis level of 2019.
 
This performance was driven by Specialty Materials (1), which benefited from strong demand for innovative, sustainable materials and from its unique positioning to support global megatrends.
