SAINT-GOBAIN ONCE AGAIN INCLUDED
IN THE CDP "CLIMATE CHANGE A LIST"
Saint-Gobain has once again been included this year in the
"Climate Change A List" established by CDP, a global non-profit
organization recognized as a benchmark in environmental rating and
transparency.
Saint-Gobain is named as one of the leading companies in terms
of environmental ambition and transparency thanks to its
significant and demonstrable action on climate. The A list
comprises only 200 companies worldwide (compared to 277 in 2020)
out of nearly 12,000 companies evaluated.
To reach its target of carbon neutrality by 2050, the Group has
defined a 2030 roadmap targeting a reduction in CO(2) emissions of
33% for scopes 1 and 2, and of 16% for scope 3, both in absolute
terms versus 2017. The Group is allocating EUR100 million each year
until 2030 to capital expenditure and R&D focused on reducing
CO(2) emissions. Furthermore, the Group uses an internal carbon
price for investment and R&D decisions, which has been
increased to EUR75 per ton for capital expenditure (versus EUR50
previously), and is EUR150 per ton for R&D projects.
Beyond the efforts to reduce its own CO(2) emissions, the Group
is a key player in sustainability, with solutions bringing a
sustainability benefit (for the planet or for people - in terms of
health and safety and well-being) representing 72% of its sales in
2020. Solutions sold across the globe in one year result in around
1,300 million tons of avoided CO(2) emissions over their lifespan,
around 40 times Saint-Gobain's own total carbon footprint in 2020
(scopes 1, 2 and 3).
Finally, the Group makes a significant contribution to the
acceleration of the construction sector's ESG (Environment, Social,
Governance) agenda in collaborating with governmental and
non-governmental organizations, building ecosystem partnerships and
exchanging with start-ups.
Claire Pedini, Senior Vice President, Human Resources and
Corporate Social Responsibility of Saint-Gobain , said: "This is a
recognition of the progress made and the commitment of the Group
with regards to the fight against climate change. Saint-Gobain is a
key player in this respect and demonstrates at all levels its
leadership and responsibility : maximizing the positive impact for
our customers thanks to our solutions, whilst minimizing our own
footprint as part of our commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050
."
CDP assesses companies using an independent methodology,
allocating a score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of
disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks and
demonstration of best practices associated with environmental
leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
