Towards modular and scalable housing
"Just as in the past, we have seen the transformation of buildings used for World Fairs, the facilities of the future Olympic Village of Paris 2024 have been designed to meet new uses once the sporting event is over.

Benoit Bazin, CEO of Saint-Gobain Group.
Large corporations & start-ups: the Age of Reason
"Pitting large corporations against start-ups is already an outdated cliché. I strongly believe that the traditional opposition between these two worlds makes no sense! In recent years, start-ups and large corporations have been building more and more bridges. And we are witnessing a winning hybridization, which is becoming a reality at Saint-Gobain."
Claire Pedini, Senior Vice-President, Human Resources and Digital Transformation - Saint-Gobain.
