 "Human resources are a key element in Saint-Gobain's strategy, for they are an integral part of the Group's development, supplying it with the finest skills, generating support among the staff for our strategy and satisfying their aspirations as much as possible." Pierre-André de Chalendar, CEO.

Saint-Gobain is a people business, from our employees to our customers to the communities in which we operate.

As a service oriented business the quality of our people is what sets us apart from the competition.  That is why we invest over £65 million each year in our training and development, structured to provide all employees with the skills, knowledge and expertise to operate effectively and efficiently, enabling them to provide the highest level of service.

Saint-Gobain is one of the top 100 industrial companies with operations in over 59 countries and a workforce of 209,000 people, including 20,000 in the UK and Ireland.  Some of the UK and Ireland’s best known and well respected companies are part of Saint-Gobain, including Jewson, Graham, British Gypsum, Solaglas, Saint-Gobain Isover, Saint-Gobain PAM, Artex and International Timber, to name a few.

Just as important as training is diversity.  We believe everyone should be treated with fairness at work, which is why we are committed to developing a diverse workforce and promoting equal opportunities.  Our values are set out in the Saint-Gobain Principles of Conduct and Action, which provide a clear framework to guide the behaviour of all employees across the Group.
