To create inclusive growth in the countries where it operates:

• for employees: we provide our employees with high-quality jobs. For example, the Group has launched on January 1, 2020, CARE by Saint-Gobain: a social protection program for all Group employees and their families. The coverage is defined to meet basic daily healthcare needs but also to support key moments of family life: 

-daily medical monitoring of families and access to care, by covering health costs (doctor visits or hospitalization) at least at a rate of at least 80%; 
-the arrival of a child in his family, including adoption procedures, by paying at least 14 weeks of maternity leave with full pay and 3 days of paternity leave with full pay; 
-death, by providing the family with financial capital representing at least one year of the employee's salary. 
The program is being implemented on a country-by-country basis, and the target is to achieve a coverage rate of 100% by 2023.

• for local communities: we contribute to economic development and local employment. 

 
In a changing world, the Group’s new, simpler and more agile organization relies on internal and external resources to accelerate transformation, with the objective of creating shared value with our stakeholders.
