Aluminium Dunkerque, represented by its Managing Director Guillaume de Goÿs, took part in the Rencontre des Entrepreneurs de France, organised by the MEDEF, on the theme of ‘Climate: the power to adapt’.

Aluminium Dunkerque has been asked to appear in a short film about climate change in the Dunkirk area.
