Today, buildings account for 40% of energy use and 25% of CO2 emissions. As the world leader in the "habitat" and construction markets, Saint-Gobain is rising to the exciting challenge of inventing and building the home of the future — a home that will be more energy efficient and environmentally friendly, while enhancing comfort and quality of life.

Sustainability

Respect for the environment

The company has set ambitious targets for reducing CO₂ emissions at company locations that have a significant environmental impact. We have accelerated our ISO 14001 certification process to obtain accreditation for more than 80% of these sites.

We've also committed to reducing the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of our service buildings by a factor of four by 2040 under the Saint-Gobain Care:4™ program. The goal is to bring each new building's thermal performance into line with the most stringent national standard and reduce annual energy usage to less than 80kWh/m².
