SAINT-GOBAIN'S LEADING EFFORTS AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE ONCE AGAIN
RECOGNIZED BY CDP
This year, Saint-Gobain has once again been named as a member of
the "Climate Change A List" drawn up by CDP, a global non-profit
organization that identifies companies involved in the fight
against climate change.
Saint-Gobain was recognized for its actions to reduce its
greenhouse gas emissions over the past year, mitigate climate risks
and develop a low-carbon economy. For instance, Saint-Gobain has
installed turbines in India and Italy to produce electricity from
previously non-recovered energy. By the end of 2018, Saint-Gobain
had reduced its CO(2) emissions by 12% compared to 2010.
Pierre-André de Chalendar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Saint-Gobain, said: "This recognition underlines the Group's
involvement and its commitment to transparency on the subject of
climate change, as well as the efforts already undertaken to reduce
our CO(2) emissions. It also commends the ambitious commitment we
made in 2019 year to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, in
line with the +1.5degC warming scenarios. >>
The environmental data collected by CDP from more than 8,400
companies and 900 cities and states around the world makes CDP's
platform one of the richest sources of information globally on how
companies and governments are taking action against climate change.
The full list of companies that are part of this year's Climate
Change A list is available here:
https://www.cdp.net/en/companies/companies-scores
The CDP evaluates companies and assigns them a score from A to
D, based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and
management of environmental risks, and by judging their level of
environmental leadership through the best practices they have
implemented, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
