Sustainability at the Core of Everything We Do

Our teams around the world share an ambitious and meaningful purpose: Making the World a Better Home. A purpose that not only inspires but calls for action.

Saint-Gobain's global strategy addresses the universal challenges of climate change, resource preservation, and rising population. We aim to deliver a more sustainable industry, improving daily life through high performance solutions.

Sustainability is at the center of our operations, with a focus on water and energy reduction, recycling with a goal of zero waste-to-landfill, various supply chain activities, and comprehensive life-cycle assessments of our products to ensure our solutions are not just the right choice, but the most sustainable ones too.
