RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IS A KEY PRINCIPLE DRIVING OUR ACTION:
Saint-Gobain’s manufacturing processes involve relatively little technological risk, as they mostly use mineral raw materials and very few environmentally hazardous substances. The main concern for Saint-Gobain, as for many other manufacturers, is carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The Group has set ambitious targets for CO2
emissions at sites with a signifi cant environmental impact. It has accelerated its ISO 14001 certifi cation process to obtain accreditation for more than 80% of these sites. In 2008, 46% were already certified.
These sites are also being called on to reduce their CO2 emissions, landfi lled waste and water withdrawals by 6% between 2007 and 2010. In 2008, the Group had already cut its CO2 emissions by 2% and water withdrawals by 4%.
