Commitments
and progress

 

We are committed to achieving net-zero emissions across our value chain by 2050, in line with Saint-Gobain's commitment to its science-based targets.

We are taking measurable action across our operations and value chain against defined indicators. Our reporting identifies our progress and areas where further action is needed.

 

Our approach

We aim to communicate our progress clearly and support our environmental claims with reliable data. At product level, we use independently verified information, including EPDs, where available.
