As a worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction, Saint-Gobain is at the heart of climate change issues. Saint-Gobain, Opening Ceremony Partner for the Climate Week NYC 2024, publishes its Climate Notebook.
Saint-Gobain's approach to combating climate change is founded on a dual commitment to maximizing its positive contribution while minimizing its environmental footprint. To achieve this, the company actively engages all stakeholders on climate-related issues.
Mark Rayfield, Senior Vice-President, CEO of the North America Region at Saint-Gobain: We maximize our positive impact by developing a range of solutions that help our customers reduce their own carbon footprint. Consumers drive demand. The technology is available to us today to build the sustainable homes we need; and to do so economically. We must help educate homeowners and contractors to see the value in building in a more sustainable manner. By leveraging sustainable solutions such as insulation, they can improve the energy efficiency of their homes, thus participating in the worldwide effort to limit climate change.
Irène Skoula, Director Energy & Buildings at C40: To achieve our goals, we need to build lasting relationships and fruitful interactions with our stakeholders throughout our value chain: employees, external partners, local authorities and communities. The building infrastructure sector is complex, global, and fragmented. No single actor can achieve the scale and pace of the transition required. Stakeholder engagement is essential, and collaboration is key. Using an inclusive approach for industry, workers, and the community can help deliver the sustainable construction we all want.
