OPERATING RESPONSIBLY, WITH VALUES AT THE CENTRE OF OUR BUSINESS

 

People matter to us, and we try to show that every day. As part of this, our aim is to create an enterprising and innovative working environment, where you have the opportunity to learn new skills, and develop your career. We want to be a business that you’ll be proud to work for; one that is committed to improving people’s daily life, being responsible, doing the right thing, and to preserving the environment by embedding sustainability in all our businesses.

We’re delighted that you may be considering a career at Saint-Gobain, but as well as knowing what we commit to as an employer, it is very important that you understand how we like to work, and therefore what is expected of you as an employee. You’ve probably heard it before, but we really do place a strong emphasis on hiring people that align well with these core principles and attitudes.

Our Principles of Conduct and Action underpin everything we do; they’re the foundation of how we do business responsibly. Building upon these principles, the Saint-Gobain Attitudes set a standard in the way we want to work in order to make a reality of our ambition; ‘to help create great living places and improve daily life’. Once you’ve taken the time to understand how these fit together, take the Saint-Gobain-Ometer and see if we’re the right fit for each other!

 

At Saint-Gobain, we are committed to ensuring that our activities, our employees and our partners are jointly involved in building a more sustainable and equitable world. As we do this, where ever we are in the world, we operate with a set of strong shared values for the common good.

Pierre-Andre de Chalendar,

Chairman and Chief Executive of Saint-Gobain

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

We are committed to ensuring our business has a positive impact on communities and the environment to create a more sustainable world. We closely manage environmental impact of our operations and are committed to running our business on net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Our business also has a considerable role to play in supporting the UK economy to decarbonise as our products and solutions contribute significantly to reducing the heating and cooling demands of buildings, which is responsible for 40% of the Uk & Ireland's carbon footprint.

EMBRACING DIVERSITY

EMBRACING DIVERSITY

The more diverse our teams are the better decisions we make, the more capacity to innovate and develop the right solutions for our customers and partners.

 

Diversity in all its forms is embraced at Saint-Gobain and we are committed to giving equal opportunities, support and encouragement to all groups in society. We recognise the need to create more diverse teams, as we still have a way to go to be as diverse a business as we want to be.
