Saint-Gobain reiterates its support for human rights
Pierre-André de Chalendar, Chief Operating Officer of the Saint-Gobain Group, signed the declaration of management support for human rights, to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
To date, more than 150 companies have signed the following text: "On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we, business leaders from all corners of the world, call on governments to implement fully their human rights obligations. We also reiterate our own commitment to respect and support human rights within our sphere of influence. Human rights are universal and are an important business concern all over the globe."
This initiative was organized by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the United Nations Global Compact, to which Saint-Gobain has subscribed since 2003.
