Guillaume de Goÿs
Chief Executive Officer
A word from the CEO
Since its creation in 1991, Aluminium Dunkerque has made major and innovative societal commitments, particularly in terms of the environment, employment and work organisation. As such, it was one of the most visited industrial sites in France at the time.
Over the years, and beyond changes in shareholders, those commitments have remained anchored in the company’s culture and practices. They are constantly being adapted and strengthened to keep pace with changes in society and to take account of the major challenges we all face.
Formalised in our policies and codes of conduct, our commitments are also, and above all, a state of mind shared at all levels that guides all our relations with our stakeholders.
I am pleased and proud to chair a company that is so concerned about its integrity and its impact, and so firmly committed to exercising its responsibility.
