Commitment to Saint-Gobain's Sustainability
Care for the environment and the pursuit of increasingly responsible action are the pillars that guide us to respond to the greatest challenges faced by humanity: climate change, the protection of natural resources, care for health and well-being, and inclusion.
Faced with the challenges of climate change and the risks associated with the increase in average temperature, Saint-Gobain, which has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, aims to promote the emergence of a low-carbon economy in the countries where it operates. In concrete terms, the goal is to help our customers reduce their CO₂ emissions through the use of their products and solutions or by reducing the carbon impact of their production. We work towards the decarbonization of construction and industry, minimizing our footprint and maximizing our contribution.
Making the world a better home
Our purpose defines our future path, reflects who we are, is an incentive to action, and is supported by values that guide us.
This is the deep ambition of our purpose:
To act, every day, to make the world a more beautiful and sustainable place to live.
Sustainability
A long-term commitment
Mitigating climate change means decarbonizing our economies. The goal is simple: by 2050, we should not emit more CO2 than we absorb.
Our ambition to achieve carbon neutrality is also a very concrete manifestation of our purpose, to make the world a better place.
Saint-Gobain took on this commitment on September 23, 2019, in New York, by signing the UN Global Pact's "Business Ambition for 1.5°C" commitment.
As we move towards our 2050 target, we are working to make each of these intermediate efforts increasingly ambitious – such as, for example, with commitments to reduce carbon in more areas of the business and the evolution of incremental improvements to significant changes.

Our methodology
Today, at Saint-Gobain, we are seeking a range of methods to reduce direct emissions at our sites (Scope 1), indirect emissions mainly related to electricity use (Scope 2), and also emissions from our value chain (Scope 3)
Product design and new material composition, making industrial processes more energy-efficient and shifting our energy use to low-carbon and renewable sources
Working together with raw material suppliers and logistics and transport to reduce their emissions
Study and implementation of carbon capture and removal solutions for residual emitters
These methods are adaptable and can be adjusted as new technologies, solutions, and challenges arise
We use a scenario-based approach, analyzing different technical options and the development of economic circumstances so that we are ready, by 2030, to make the important investment and development decisions to achieve our 2050 targets
