Saint-Gobain Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility is at the heart of Saint-Gobain's strategy.

This business model directly contributes to ESG (Environment Social Governance) outcomes and links with Creating Shared value: “[…] beyond reducing negative impact and creating a positive one; Financial, societal and environmental benefits can be achieved simultaneously.”
