Saint-Gobain EHS Commitment
Saint-Gobain is highly committed to Health Safety and the Environment (HSE), often going beyond national legal requirements and drawing upon substantial financial and human resources, to work towards ambitious objectives.
Saint-Gobain is now ranked among the Global 100 most sustainable corporations in the world.
Saint-Gobain HSE Charter:
- Zero work-related accidents
- Zero occupational illness
- Zero non-recovered waste
Issues are handled by a specific EHS structure, which is matrix-based like Saint-Gobain itself, and coordinated by a central department reporting directly to General Management. This organization structure allows proximity with the various business operations and awareness of national specificities, while maintaining consistency with general objectives.
On a daily basis, group employees are actively committed to pursuing HSE objectives, implementing the following principles:
- respect for the law and best management practices;
- management of all forms of risk;
- measurable priorities and performances, based on comparable, high-performing group sites.
- application of EHS policy with external contractors working on Group sites;
continuous, responsible and open dialogue with partners (public authorities, clients, suppliers, etc.).
In each Saint-Gobain business sector, depending on its size and type of organization, one or more persons are in charge of tailoring the EHS policy to the specific context of the Division's operations.
