Sustainable development is central to Saint-Gobain's strategy and is a crucial issue for the Group.
Leader in the housing and construction markets, the Group offers innovative and efficient solutions to the challenges of saving energy and protecting the environment. Such solutions include low emissivity glass, which helps to reduce heat loss while allowing rooms to be warmed by direct sunshine, combined glass wool and plasterboard insulation products, and solar panels offering an alternative energy source.
Our research and development teams are working on further energy-saving solutions for the future, such as more energy efficient lighting systems, and fuel cells for generating electricity and heating water in the home.
Considering our strategic positioning in these markets, it is essential that our sustainable development performance is beyond reproach. Rather than simply complying with regulations, we take a highly committed stance on minimising the environmental impact of our processes, protecting the health and safety of our employees and making proper allowance for social responsibility issues in all our business activities.
