Sustainability at the heart of our business strategy

Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics and Refractories plays an integral role within the Saint-Gobain Group. Our teams around the world share an ambitious and meaningful purpose: Making the World a Better Home. A purpose that not only inspires but calls for action.​ As well as being a member of the United Nations’ Global Compact since 2003, Saint-Gobain also encourages partners and suppliers to commit to the Global Compact’s ten principles. The Group also pays particular attention to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
These commitments enable Saint-Gobain to evaluate its impact better and work towards a fairer, more sustainable world. Since 2019, Saint-Gobain has supported the UN’s Global Compact’s Business Ambition for 1.5°C. The Group has committed itself to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 in line to limit the rise of global temperatures to 1.5°C. This ambition is part of the Group’s strategy to limit its environmental impact and contribute to decarbonising its markets.
