Decarbonisation: a major challenge
Committing to our region
Organized by Reuters Event in Amsterdam on May 22 and 23, 2024, the “Industrial Decarbonisation Europe” meeting brought together European leaders from sectors whose carbon footprint is difficult to reduce, to foster collaboration around Net Zero action on an industrial scale.
At the initiative of MEDEF Côte d’Opale, companies in the Dunkirk area have co-constructed a recruitment charter. Called Opal Job, it aims to prepare and support the HR needs of the region, whose economic expansion is set to create thousands of new jobs by 2030.
On Wednesday May 15, Aluminium Dunkerque’s HR teams, accompanied by operational staff, were on hand to welcome the 70 candidates who had applied for work-study opportunities in production and maintenance.
A major primary
aluminium producer
in Europe
designs, produces and markets low-carbon and circular aluminium.
Aluminium Dunkerque specialises in the production of slabs and ingots in a wide variety of alloys for high added-value applications in the automotive, transport and packaging sectors in particular.
Aluminium is a strategic metal for the environmental transition, and Aluminium Dunkerque is one of the world leaders in the production of low-carbon aluminium. The company has reduced its emissions by 17% (scope 1,2) since 2013 and emits four times less greenhouse gases than the global average for the sector.
On the strength of those achievements, we intend to play a major role in European low-carbon aluminium production for the benefit of our customers and our communities. Which is why we are accelerating our energy and environmental transition in line with the COP21 objectives.
