Our pillars
Our commitment, supported by the 6 pillars that underpin all our practices, is to make the Saint-Gobain group a company that changes along with the world.
The Group's CSR pillars guide our actions to reduce the environmental, social and societal impacts of our activities and solutions. These priority issues take into account the Group's strategy, the materiality analysis (Check the materiality matrix in the URD) and the expectations of our stakeholders.
Our CSR commitments are based on our CSR roadmap and our ethical code: the Principles of Conduct and Action. Developing and distributing more sustainable solutions to create comfortable living spaces that ensure the well-being of individuals and society as a whole: these are the foundations of our mission. These commitments are at the heart of our DNA and can be divided into six pillars.
