For the past several years, the Group has brought
together these three aspects of its industrial operations into
a comprehensive and consistent approach. Based on tangible objectives
and drawing upon substantial financial and human resources,
this policy has allowed Saint-Gobain facilities to make great
strides.
THE CHARTER
Zero work-related accidents,
Zero occupational illness,
Zero non-recovered waste!

Every day, all of us in the Group are actively committed to pursuing the ambitious objectives of the Saint-Gobain EHS policy through the implementation of the following principles:
- respect for the law and for best
management practices;
- management of all forms of risk;
- measurable priorities and performances, based upon particularly effective performance standards found in the Group for comparable sites;
- application of the EHS policy to outside contractors who are working on a Group site;
- continuous, responsible and open dialogue with our partners (public authorities, clients, suppliers, etc.).
A DEDICATED STRUCTURE
Environment, Health and Safety issues are handled by a specific EHS structure that is matrix-based like Saint-Gobain itself and coordinated by a central department reporting directly to General Management. This organization structure makes it possible to be close to business operations and aware of specific national circumstances, while keeping a consistency with the overall objectives.
In each business sector, depending on its size and type of organization, one or more persons are in charge of translating and tailoring the EHS policy in the specific context of the Division's operations.
