SAINT-GOBAIN ONCE AGAIN RECOGNIZED FOR ITS COMMITMENT IN THE
FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
Saint-Gobain has once again been recognized this year for
leadership in the fight against climate change by the CDP, a global
environmental non-profit organization.
For the second year in a row, Saint-Gobain makes the "Climate
Change A List", among 283 companies out of more than 15,000
companies that answered the CDP's 2022 Climate Change
questionnaire.
Claire Pedini , Senior Vice President, Human Resources and
Corporate Social Responsibility at Saint-Gobain, commented on this
recognition: "This achievement is proof of the company's consistent
actions in terms of sustainability. It demonstrates that the whole
Group is mobilized to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, in line
with our purpose 'Making the World a Better Home'."
To reach this ambitious objective, Saint-Gobain has set a 2030
roadmap targeting a reduction in CO(2) emissions of 33% for scopes
1 and 2, and of 16% for scope 3, compared with 2017, targets
validated in 2020 by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
In September of this year, the SBTi also validated Saint-Gobain's
net-zero carbon commitment by 2050.
As the worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction,
Saint-Gobain made several world firsts including the first ever
zero carbon production of flat glass in France. The Group also
strengthened its position in construction chemicals, through the
acquisition of Chryso and GCP, whose products make a significant
difference in decarbonizing the construction industry.
In addition to the Climate CDP, Saint-Gobain has also received
an "A-" for its transparency on water security, confirming its
commitment to reduce by 2030 its water withdrawal by 50% compared
to 2017 and to achieve a zero water discharge in areas suffering
from extremely high water stress.
CDP rates companies and allocates a score of A to D- based on
their assessment of the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness
and management of environmental risks and demonstration of best
practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting
ambitious and meaningful targets.
