“2020 was a year of great upheaval, which led to faster progress in the Group’s transformation.
Worldwide automotive production saw a historic decline in the first half of the year. The recovery in production will take place at a moderate pace over several years, with large variations between regions. With our adaptable, responsive teams, our good geographical balance and the increased efficiency of our operations, we will be able to rise to these challenges.
Technological changes had already started to emerge, and their pace accelerated, particularly regarding the shift to electrified vehicles. Today, we have the ability to innovate, a diversified customer portfolio and a solid financial position, enabling us to turn this disruption into growth.
Social and environmental matters are also a central concern in terms of our performance and strategy.
Our ambition of supporting sustainable mobility for the good of all our stakeholders is greater than ever.”
Laurent Favre, Chief Executive Officer of Compagnie Plastic Omnium SE
